NOTE: There was a fire at Suncadia Lodge early Monday morning that caused damage to the property. As a result, Suncadia is unable to accommodate our conference.
However, we have moved the conference to the Tulalip Resort Casino. Everything with the agenda schedule remains the same, only the location has changed.
Please note the registration price DOES NOT include accommodations at Tulalip.
