With registration for ILA 2015 Conference underway, it is possible to get hung up on how to register online. In just a few steps, you can be all set to join us for a single day, the entire conference or the pre-conference deep-diving institutes July 18-20 in St. Louis, MO.

What you’ll need

• Computer
• Online access
• IDs (ILA member number/password, student ID, guest full name/phone number)
• Credit card

Special notes

• Check out the ILA Conference website for information including general sessions speakers, highlights of the conference, and frequently asked questions.
• The Conference iPlanner offers details on sessions and pre-Conference institutes.
• While registering, do not use your browser’s “back” or “forward” buttons. There are “previous” and “next” buttons on the registration site you can use without losing the information you’ve already entered.
• After completing each page, use the “next” button to move on.

Login

If you are a member, use your ILA username and password. If you have purchased a book from ILA, you, too, have a login you can use for registration. You cannot create a login from the same e-mail address with which you bought a book.

Registration Info

There are simple questions here. If you have a login, it will automatically fill in the required fields, except for emergency contact information. This is where you can also request special assistance at the conference, should you need it.

If you are a member, you will move on to register for the conference, first choosing how many days you will attend. 

On this page you'll also be able to sign up for the new Author Meetup where attendees will be able to spend time chatting with children's authors, in addition to walking away with an autographed book from each writer in your preferred reader age group (4-10 or 11+). Also sign up here for Institutes, a daylong deep dive into subjects including Transforming Adolescents' Lives Through Literacy and Best Practices for Children in All Areas of Early Literacy Instruction. Both add-ons have a separate fee that will be included at checkout.

If you are not a member, you will have the opportunity to join as a regular or student member. All members are eligible for a deep discount on Conference registration.

Author Luncheon

These events provide a relaxed break in the day for a nice lunch and a chance to hear accomplished authors share their stories with you. This year's speakers are Meg Cabot, William Joyce and Nick Bruell. This is the page to register for the luncheons at an additional cost. This cost, like those for the Institutes or Author Meetup, will be added at checkout.

Add a Guest

You are welcome to bring a guest to author luncheons. This is where those guests are registered.
