CATESOL23 is Affordable! 

One of the many ways we are BREAKING NEW GROUND is in our registration rates.

You will notice that this year’s rate to attend the annual state conference is significantly less expensive than in previous years.  

We have strategically shifted away from hosting our annual event at large convention centers with untenable financial contracts.

Our move to partnering instead with local educational institutions, such as community colleges, allows us to offer the same high level of professional development experiences as we always have, while passing the savings on to you.

Our volunteer conference committee no longer bears the burden of filling large room blocks in convention hotels. Still, we provide resources for local lodging, dining, and entertainment.

These changes allow you to attend the conference at significantly lower rates!

The decrease in conference rates is in addition to our recent drop in membership rates from $70 to a mere $30 per year. 

While we may be reeling from price hikes in the rest of our lives, CATESOL promises to continue advancing the quality of English language teaching and learning through professional development, research, standards, and advocacy -- at considerably lower price points.

Please spread the word about our refreshed rates with friends, colleagues, and others through social media, message boards, and email distribution lists! Include our conference hashtag #catesol23.
