Youth (which NESAWG defines as people under 25 years of age) are welcome at the conference and we encourage organizations working with youth to consider bringing young people to participate. All youth under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. For more information, visit the forthcoming Youth at the Conference page.

We are no longer accepting scholarship applications but you can you can still apply at  New York State Health Foundation (funding is limited and offered at their discretion, apply online) and New England Grassroots Environment Fund’s Seed Grant program. The Grassroots Fund supports innovative, community-driven environmental projects for frontline New England communities. Is attending #NESAWG18 an integral part of your group’s mission, vision or strategy?

PRICING

Registration is open Aug 1 until October 17 or until the conference sells out. You cannot buy tickets on site! 

Registration includes all programming (Thursday evening through Saturday); breakfast on Friday and Saturday, lunch on Friday, receptions on Friday, and coffee breaks. Pre-conferences require an additional fee and can be purchased at the same time as your main conference ticket. The Common Market tour also requires an additional ticket, please purchase in advance. The Culinary Literacy program also requires an additional ticket, please purchase in advance.

This year, NESAWG is instituting an optional tiered pricing structure. We are doing this so we can continue to offer lower cost tickets to those who need it, while raising funds to support lower cost tickets and our scholarship fund. We offer suggestions for each ticket price, but leave it to you to purchase the ticket that works best for your individual or organizational budget. A small processing fee charged by the registration site will be added to your registration cost upon checkout.
