How to Register

Before you start this registration process, here are a few things that can make things go more smoothly:
- Unsure of your CLA membership status or if you have forgotten your CLA membership credentials? Contact us at 2026conf@cla-net.org before you start the registration process.
- Just signed up for a CLA membership? Or just renewed? (BTW, thanks!) Pro tip: Please allow 24 hours after joining (or renewing) before you register for the conference in order to receive the member price. (Especially at this time of the year, our system needs a little extra time to keep up with all of the registrations. We appreciate this!)
- This year CLA is only accepting payment by credit or debit card for conference registrations and membership renewals.
