Registration

Registration for the CIRIS Annual Summit track includes all meals and receptions, general sessions on Monday and Tuesday, and attendance to the CIRIS breakout track only. Registration does not include any ATLIS or sponsored breakout sessions.

DISCOUNT: We all want these registration fees as affordable as possible, and – simply put – the more our attendees book their accommodations with our official conference hotel, the lower these registration fees can be. To incentivize your support of lower fees, we are offering a special $250 conference registration discount for those who stay a minimum of two nights in the ATLIS Block at the Grand Sierra Resort. Learn more below, under Hotel.

REGISTER NOW

*ATLIS memberships are school-wide memberships and all employees are eligible for benefits without limit. If you believe your school is an ATLIS member, check to ensure that you are added to the membership roster to take advantage of member rates.

*Need to register multiple people? ATLIS requires that everyone register themselves, as we ask for acknowledgments, dietary restrictions, and other special needs. However, our membership team is more than happy to create an invoice for your whole team then provide you with limited-use codes for each person to individually register.

Pre-conference workshop

Build a Data Warehouse for Your School

The hackathon seeks to empower tech professionals from independent schools with a deeper understanding of data management. This is a hybrid event. Participants may join us in-person in Reno or opt to participate via zoom. In addition to the primary session taking place in conjunction with the ATLIS Annual Conference, we will also hold two one-hour virtual sessions to support attendees, which will take place after the conference.

Follow-up session dates: Tuesday, April 16 and Tuesday, April 23 at 3 p.m. EST.

Workshop costs:

ATLIS Members: $199

Non-members: $299

Learn more about the workshop and register as a virtual attendee here (note: if you plan to attend the CIRIS Annual Summit, you can add-on the pre-conference registration when you register.)
