Registration

Who is eligible to attend?

The content of the conference is for anyone who is a DCYF employee who would benefit from the conference content as appropriate for their role. Conferences focus on these four audiences: supervisors, administrative professionals, area administrators and program managers. If you’re not sure whether it is appropriate for you, ask your supervisor.  

Who needs to approve before I sign up?

Your supervisor needs to approve your attendance before you register. 

Travel & Lodging

Do I need a DCYF travel authorization form before I go?

If you are traveling for the conference and the distance from your work site to the conference location is 50 miles or more, you must complete a travel authorization form to be approved for lodging. Please also ensure you are following all DCYF travel policy and any division protocol you have for travel.

How will I know my lodging is confirmed?

After you complete the lodging request form (which can be found in the event invite), this will happen:

• You will receive an email confirming your lodging request via Smartsheet.

  • This serves as documentation of your room request.

• Your room confirmation will be emailed to you within a month of the event.

  • This allows for all rooms to be booked through our arranged room block with the hotel.

• Do not book your own room with the hotel or work through your travel desk for lodging; it is accounted for in our conference package.
