If you encounter flight restrictions that will not allow you to arrive in time or that will force you to depart early, please contact Director of Conferences and Meetings Page Adams prior to booking your flight. She may be able to assist you in finding an alternative flight that will accommodate a timely arrival and departure.

We are no longer able to accommodate attendees who have not paid for their event registrations before arrival. Please ensure that your attendance has been paid in full, before arriving in St. Louis. If you arrive at HFC and your registration fee is still outstanding, you will be unable to check in for the event unless you pay onsite by check or credit card. All event fees should be paid by February 7, 2025.
Yes, all attendees are required to be current on international alumnae dues for current fiscal year (August 1 through July 31) or be a Life Loyal member. If you arrive at the event and are still outstanding on your dues, you will have the opportunity to pay your dues or join Life Loyal when you check-in for the event.
All matching roommate requests will be honored to the best of our ability. In other words, if Shana and Jill both request each other, they will be paired together. However, if Shana requests Jill but Jill and Elsa request to room with one another, then the matching request will be honored. Please make sure you discuss roommate pairings before the close of registration so that everyone is clear on their roommates and they are assigned accordingly.
No changes will be made after the registration deadline. If you need a roommate, leave that section blank during registration and you will be paired at random. You will not be alerted to the name of your roommate in advance. Instead, you will find out when you arrive who your roommate is and what chapter she is from. Come prepared to make a new friend!
Please email Director of Conferences and Meetings Page Adams to alert her of your issues and let her know your estimated time of arrival.
No, we do not allow event participants to commute to the hotel. All participants are required to stay on property to fully immerse themselves in the education, sisterhood and networking that the weekend has to offer.
