Registration Information

Capacity

Due to space constraints, the Lilly Conference is limiting attendees to the first 600 registrants and therefore, we encourage you to register for the conference early. Once the Conference reaches 600 attendees, registrations will be added to a "wait-list" and those interested in attending will be contacted in the order in which they sign-up, as space becomes available.

Payment

Payment of Lilly Conference fees can be made in one or more of the following ways:

Please note: If you are unable to attend, someone else may attend in your stead. Otherwise the refund policy is as follows:

All refunds will be processed in December.

Conference Lodging Option

This option includes:

  • Lodging for Friday and Saturday nights at one of the 4 participating hotels. We will arrange lodging for you.

Because space is limited, we will make lodging reservations for you. Lodging will be provided at one of the following:

  • Baymont Inn & Suites
  • Best Western
  • Comfort Inn
The Marcum Conference Center is reserved for featured presenters, conference staff, and those with disabilities. We will attempt to satisfy your preferences for lodging, but space is limited. You can chose either a single room, or room with another conference attendee at a lower rate. The Hueston Woods Resort is approximately 15 minutes from the conference and because of the distance, a shuttle will be available specifically for this lodging option. While there is a shuttle that travels to each hotel, the Hueston Woods shuttle will be separate from the other shuttle service.

This option does not include:

  • Wednesday or Thursday lodging
  • Thursday pre-conference workshops
  • Meals

These options can all be puchased seperately.
