Registration Information
In 2006 Expanding Your Horizons piloted a new online registration option for girls and parents interested in attending the conference. This year, online registration is an option yet again. Anyone with access to the Internet is welcome to register online. This online form was designed for us by the brilliant folks at razorbox.com and in partnership with PayPal.com. Read the instructions below about how to proceed.
If, for any reason, this option will not work for you, you may still register using the paper and pen option - use the form on the preprinted brochure or by printing the registration form on this website, fill it in and pop it into an envelope addressed to our mailbox below. Read the instructions below about how to proceed.
