Registration runs through the start of the opening keynote at 1:00 PM and will remain open in this location until 2:30 PM. After that time, registration continues from 2:30 PM - 5:00 PM at the Help & Information Desk, located in the Lenox Ballroom located on the Seond Floor of the Sheraton.

We will be offering additional official registration periods from 7:15 AM - 8:15 AM on Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5 at the Help & Information Desk. Outside of these times, someone will always be available to assist you at the Help & Information Desk.


* Special Instructions for Keynote Addresses *

If you registered prior to April 7, you will have a PURPLE name badge and view ALL keynotes in the Metropolitan Ballroom.

Due to overwhelming demand, we were not able to accommodate all interested conference attendees in the main ballroom to hear the keynotes and we opened Overflow registration. If you registered as an OVERFFLOW attendee (this was communicated at the time of registration), you will view the Friday afternoon keynotes on screens in the Empire East Ballroom, located on the Second Floor of the Sheraton. This will be noted on your name badge, which will be YELLOW in color. Overflow will apply to keynote presentations on Friday afternoon only.

On Sunday morning, you can attend the keynotes in the Metropolitan Ballroom. Breakout locations are the same for everyone and you can attend the session track of your choice.


Help & Information Desk

You will be able to find answers to your questions and help with registration problems at the Learning & the Brain Help & Infomation Desk. This is where you can find direct representatives from Learning & the Brain , as opposed to hotel staff, temporary event staff, or volunteer helpers.

The Help Desk will be located in the Lenox Ballroom, on the Second Floor of the Sheraton. The Help Desk hours are from 7:15 AM - 5:00 PM on Friday, May 3, from 7:15 AM - 5:00 PM on Saturday, May 4, and from 7:15 AM - 4:15 AM on Sunday, May 5.
