We ask that you indicate that you plan to attend on the Registration Form so we can have some idea of how many chairs are needed.  Thank you.  It is being held at 7pm on Wednesday June 7 in the Lecture Hall and it is free.

This is a pass that will give you a wrist band that will admit you into every Daytime Lecture being offered at the Convention Centre (does not include Museum programs). There is no need to choose your preferred lectures as this essentially does it for you and it is all 10 lectures. This single price of $125 + tax saves you $25.00 overall. In addition to this Pass you will need to purchase an Entry Wrist Band for each day of the Conference to gain access to the Lecture Hall.

Our system accepts Visa and Mastercard only.  It will not accept debit in any form (not the combined “Credit/debit” Card).  If you need another form of payment –   please contact the Registrar for instructions.  Your form will be in our system marked unpaid at this point, no need to re-enter the form.

Schedule Conflicts

Please be aware of conflicts in your schedule – conflicts are your responsibility and although these can be adjusted – free within 48 hours of registering – there will be a “Change Charge” if after the 48 hours.

As you work through this section of the form, workshop sections that are conflicts will close as you progress.  This is not the case with other areas of the form.

If you need to change something while filling the form out.  Please re-open the drop-down menu and move the curser to the blank area at the top in order to remove an item.

Supply Lists can be found with the writeup description of the workshop under the Supply List Button in each writeup.

Wait Lists will not open until the workshop is full.  If the workshop that you want is FULL, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you contact the Registrar, Janet Kasper (quiltcanadaregistrar@canadianquilter.com) and put your name on a Wait List for it.   Persons from Wait Lists will be admitted before any others are considered should space become available.

At times, it could be possible to move you from your second-choice workshop to that which is your first choice, if your name is on the Wait List.

All Daytime Lectures will require a Conference Entry Wrist Band to gain access to the Lecture Hall.  This is not included in the price of the lecture.

You will have a choice in each Lecture Section on the form to take one or both Lectures in that half of the day.

See above for All Access Daytime Lecture Pass details.

We have two great keynote speakers this year – Carolyn Friedlander and Gloria Loughman.  Listening to these great speakers is a really good way to wind down after a long day.  The cost of these inspiring lectures is $40.00 and they begin at 7:30pm on both Thursday and Friday evenings.  There is an option to sign up for one or both Evening Lectures.  There is a $10 discount if you sign up for both.  Two for $70.00 + tax.

Each Tour is $25.00 – it is a great way to learn new trends and techniques.  You can purchase them on the form as well as in person at the Registration Desk at the show.  (ONLY IF there is space left by showtime).  A Conference Entry is needed to attend the tour and unless you already have one you will need to purchase this as well.

A tour lasts approx. 45 minutes and it will be led by Board Members or Qualified Quilt Judges.  Each Leader will have a different Tour and this is not posted in advance.

Although you can definitely tour the NJS on your own, this tour will give you a leg up in information – including such things as meeting some of the designers, special tips on what is being looked for in entries to the NJS.

The 12:30pm tour is often on the lunch hour of the workshops – but it is best to check this out with your teacher.

The NJS display is always open when the Show Hall is open – you can also wander the NJS by yourself.

Once you complete the contact information, please take one last look at the form.  Be sure that you have indicated whether you are a member or not at the top of the form.  Then press SUBMIT.  This will put your registration into the system and a payment screen will pop up.

Please check the box at the top and enter either a Visa or Master Card (“Debit/Credit” Cards are not accepted by our cash handling system).   Once submitted you will receive 2 emails – one is your receipt and the other is your confirmation email.  It is possible that due to the speed that these two are sent that one could go into your spam or junk mail.  Please check these if you are only seeing one email.  If the emails do not arrive within 15 minutes please let the Registrar know.

Should there be any issue in processing your card you will receive an email about 30 minutes after submitting, inviting you to contact the Registrar for other ways to pay.  Be aware that your seat is reserved for you during this time.  If you need your unpaid registration cancelled, please contact the Registrar.

Check that you clicked a box under the REGISTRATION/MEMBERSHIP STATUS.  The next most common thing is that something is missing in your contact information.  Scroll back up your form and look for some red print on it.  That will tell you what is missing.

If you have at some point started to fill out the form and did not finish and submit it, often this message will come up.  You can enter through this pop up – it is cautionary.

Should you have a doubt in your mind about what might be in our system for you, please contact the Registrar.
