We encourage in-person attendees to check in at the JW Marriott on Wednesday, July 19th. Onsite check-in starts at 12 noon CST.


In an effort to ensure that Convention is made as affordable as possible for the sickle cell community, all sickle cell patient warriors and caregivers will automatically receive the scholarship registration of $25 (the full cost of registration is $350, Warriors will only pay $25).

To assist large families, we've created a Family Max-Out rate of $75 for families attending virtually and $100 for families attending in-person.
