A separate registration must be completed for each attendee in your group. Student registration requires student ID and documentation of 12 current credit hours to qualify; see FAQ for details.

The group rate applies to individuals who register for the HOW Design Conference and/or In-HOWse Designer Conference.

Guest registration is $300 and includes admission to all Continental Breakfasts, Sunday's Opening Reception, the Designer's Marketplace on Monday and the Tuesday Evening Reception. Applies to spouse, significant other or friend in a non-related industry.

Studio Tours and Pre-Conference Workshops

Each Studio Tour and Pre-Conference workshop requires an additional $175 fee ($325 for non-full-Conference attendees). Morning and afternoon workshops are also included in the Combination Registration at a discounted rate. Visit the conference events page for detailed descriptions. Space is limited, and these events sell out quickly. It's first-come, first-served, so register early.
