No. Last year, NOMA Conference sold out and many didn't get to attend. We expect the same this year, so please register early to secure your spot.

I changed my mind about the sessions I wish to attend — can I modify my selections?

Yes. Once sessions are released, you may go to Modify Registration and update your selections. Please note that rooms have capacity limits, so make your selections early.

Registration can be transferred. There are no cancellations or refunds.

What is the hotel cost per night?

The attendee room rate is $309.62 incl. tax and resort fee, and the student room rate is $267.81 incl. tax and resort fee.

How can I secure my hotel room for the NOMA Conference?

Attendees will receive a dedicated booking link in their confirmation email to secure a hotel room within the NOMA room block. It is important that you use this link only, as rooms booked outside of it are not guaranteed within the group block.

Guests & Add-Ons

How can I register a plus-one for the Awards Gala or evening events?

Guest Registration is available as an add-on to a full registration for $350 per ticket and includes Keynotes, the Local Chapter Reception, and the Bro's Arts Ball.
