Registration Payment Policy
Credit Card Payment
A credit card payment at the time of registration is the preferred method of payment for the Summit. Receipt of payment will be included in your confirmation email.
Check/PO/ACH Payment
If paying by Check/PO/ACH, registration payment is due within 30 days of the registration date. If payment is not received within this timeframe, a 10-day reminder notice will be issued. Failure to meet the deadline will result in the cancellation of your registration and a $250 processing fee.
If you anticipate your organization or state policies may delay your Check/PO/ACH payment, you must email Events@StartEarly.org before registering to request an extension, including a brief explanation.
Please note for Check/PO/ACH payments:
- Start Early’s W9 (also provided in confirmation email)
- Your invoice will be included in your confirmation email
- Mail checks to Start Early, including the invoice, attendee’s name, and confirmation number as listed in the registrant’s confirmation email. Failure to provide complete documentation may delay processing or result in cancellation of registration.
- If someone else (e.g., a finance department or sponsor) is submitting payment on your behalf, you are responsible for ensuring that your invoice is included. If you cannot guarantee this, please email Events@StartEarly.org. Missing documentation may delay processing or result in registration cancellation.
Checks should be mailed to:
Start Early
Attn: National Home Visiting Summit
PO BOX 775767
Chicago, IL 60677-5767
Group Registration
A group discount is available for organizations registering 10 or more attendees: For every 10 registrants, the 10th registration is free.
If registering a group of 10 or more, please complete this interest form. A member of our conference planning team will contact you with the next steps to register your group.
For groups of 10 or fewer who can pay by credit card, you may register directly online. One person can register the entire group and pay for all attendees in a single transaction.
If you are registering a group of fewer than 10 people and require an invoice for Check/PO/ACH payment, please email us at Events@StartEarly.org.
