Sorry. Registration for the 26th National Bonsai Convention has now closed. We look forward to seeing all of our registrants at the Convention on the 17th of May.
There are two ways to register:
1 Register online - then pay by direct deposit or cheque.
If you are attending the Convention and some or all of the optional activities (workshops, dinner, welcome reception, NBPCA tours) - register by Clicking the "Full Registration" mouse button on the left hand sidebar. If you are a couple attending the full convention then you will each need to complete individual registrations.
If you are accompanying a Convention registrant and wish to attend Social Activities ONLY (dinner, welcome reception, tours) register by clicking the "Spouse / Partner Registration" mouse button on the left hand sidebar.
Late in the online registration process you will be asked to “Select payment method”. Only the “Pay later” option is enabled and on that screen you will need to select the “Mail in Payment” option in the drop down list. However, you can pay by direct deposit or by mailing in a cheque. Details are provided in your confirmation email and below.
