family registration
Register just once for your whole family to attend. The Early Family Registration price is $50 for 2 adults and up to 5 children. After March 2nd, the Registration price is $75 per family. Please include all family members who will attend when you fill out your registration information. Your registration includes lunch, beverages, and snacks throughout the day for all attendees, children's activities, childcare, adult conference sessions, and the exhibitor fair! Register early! sometimes classes fill up before the event, especially in the baby and toddler classrooms!
Children in youth and teen classrooms will be grouped together by age. While we will try to accommodate requests for friends or siblings of a similar age to attend the same classroom, we cannot guarantee classroom assignments due to the number of children that attend, and the complex needs of many of the children. Friends and siblings with more than a 2 year age difference will not be able to attend the classroom.
individual registration
Flying solo for the day or have an extra family member who would like to attend? No problem! Individual adult registration is $25 per person. On the Eventbrite registration page select the Individual Family Member admission type. Individual registration is for adults only, please use family registration if you are bringing any children to the event.
Scholarships
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.
exhibitor registration
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.

In 2019, 146 adults and 173 children attended the Family Matters! event representing about 85 families of children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing from counties all across Michigan.
