Registration Information

---

New for 2019: We want to hear from you! When you fill out your registration information there is a new question we would like you to answer. What is the #1 question you are hoping to have answered at the 2019 Family Matters! event, or the one thing you are hoping to learn more about? Select questions from registration will be addressed on the day of the workshop. Let us know your burning questions when you register!

Early Registration ends Friday March 1st at 4:00 PM EST. After that time, registration prices will increase to $75 per family. Online registration will end on Monday March 11th at 4:00 PM.

Register just once for your whole family to attend.  The Early Family Registration price is $50 for 2 adults and up to 5 children. Please include all family members who will attend when you fill out your registration information.  Your registration includes lunch and snacks throughout the day for all attendees, children's activities, childcare, adult conference sessions, and the exhibitor fair! 

Flying solo for the day or have an extra family member who would like to attend? No problem! Individual registration is $25 per person. On the Eventbrite registration page select the Individual Family Member admission type.

A limited number of scholarships are available to cover the price of registration/travel sponsored by Michigan Hands & Voices. Please contact: Janel Frost 248-845-8762.

We invite organizations that support persons who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing to share information about your program and services with families as an exhibitor. We thank all the exhibitors who have supported the conference in the past and welcome those who may be joining us for the first time.

Interested in an exhibitor table at the 2019 Family Matters! event? In 2018, 129 adults and 148 children attended the Family Matters! event representing about 80 families of children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing from counties all across Michigan. We would love to see you at the 2019 workshop and help your organization reach more families! Register here:
