Online Registration

I am having trouble getting started with the online registration.

REGISTER NOW

Once opened, you will visit the NHRMA registration website which will be linked at the top of this page. Select the “New Registration” button and follow the subsequent prompts.

Each registrant is identified by their email address; if you have already registered or someone has registered on your behalf using your email address, you will not be able to use that email address again. Please contact the Registration Manager for more assistance: Register@ConferenceSolutionsInc.com

I cannot find my Registration Confirmation email.

A registration confirmation email is sent automatically once you have completed your online registration. It serves as your official invoice and is sent to the email address you used to register (as well as the email in the “additional email address” field, if entered).

If you have not received your registration confirmation, please follow these steps:

Wait 60 minutes after registering. Occasionally registration confirmations are slightly delayed if the system is particularly busy.
Check your clutter and spam folders. The subject of the email will be “Confirmation for NHRMA 2024 Conference and Tradeshow”.
Email Register@ConferenceSolutionsInc.com and request that your registration confirmation be resent.

How do I edit my contact information or add items to my order after I have already made my purchase?

If you would like to edit your order after you submitted your registration, please email Register@ConferenceSolutionsInc.com for assistance.

I selected "check" as my payment option, but now I want to pay with a card.

Visit the Modify Registration page and enter your email address and reference number (found in your registration confirmation email). You will be directed to the payment page where you can select “credit card” and enter your payment details.
