Non-Members: Please Read Carefully

1. A non-renewing, Regular Member organization will be permitted to attend one ELFA conference as a non-member and pay the applicable non-member registration fee. If the company wishes to attend another ELFA conference thereafter, it must join as a Regular Member.
2. An organization that has never been a member of the ELFA, and is qualified to be a Regular Member, is subject to the same attendance policy that applies to the non-renewing ELFA Regular Member: i.e., it will be permitted to attend one ELFA conference as a non-member and pay the applicable non-member registration fee. If the company wishes to attend another ELFA conference thereafter, it must join as a Regular Member.
3. New members will receive a discount (the difference between the non-member and member registration fee) towards their dues if they attend a conference as a non-member, pay the non- member registration fee, and subsequently join the ELFA within 60 days.

To learn more about ELFA membership and its benefits, contact Julie Benson at [email protected] or 202-238-3432.

New in 2026:

There is no "additional attendee" pricing. There is now only one price per status to attend an event. The number of other people from your company attending the event has no impact on the price.
