If you’re ready to experience all that the Annual Meeting & Convention has to offer, sign up for a Full registration, which includes access to all meetings on Thursday through Saturday and one ticket to the Annual Meeting of Members Luncheon on Saturday, December 13. A Full registration is $280 per person for Full or Life USEA members and $155 for Junior or Collegiate USEA members if purchased during the early-bird window, which closes on December 9. On December 11, prices will increase to $300 for Full or Life members and $180 for Junior or Collegiate members on-site.
For those that can’t make the whole event, single day and special event passes are available for purchase as well. Registration for the Show Jumping Course Design Seminar hosted by Chris Barnard, a highly accomplished FEI Level 2 and USEF “R” licensed show jumping course designer, can be purchased for just $60. This event will take place from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 11, and will take attendees on an interactive journey into the current trends of show jumping course design.
Single day passes are also available for Saturday, December 13 and include one ticket to the Annual Meeting of Members Luncheon, which will feature a keynote address from Natalie Hummel. Hummel is a leading high-performance coach and nervous system expert who will present a bold vision for the future of equestrian sport. With unprecedented scrutiny, from the macro-level challenges of horse welfare and the social license to operate, to the personal disillusionment of riders questioning the sport’s validity, Hummel will challenge the audience to shift the narrative from one of defense to one of pride, possibility, and progress. A Saturday-only registration is $180, which includes access to all meetings in addition to the luncheon, while individual Annual Meeting of Members Luncheon tickets can be purchased for $65.
Finally, the Annual Awards Dinner on the evening of Saturday, December 13 is one event you won’t want to miss. Join the USEA in celebrating our leaderboard champions at all levels, as well as several Appreciation Awards winners, over a meal shared with fellow eventing enthusiasts. Awards dinner tickets can be purchased for one person for $115, a table of 8 for $920, or a table of 10 for $1,150.
The provisional schedule can be viewed here, and it is jam packed with can’t miss educational opportunities. Start planning your must-attend sessions today! In addition to the endless list of educational sessions hosted by various USEA programs and corporate partners, the Convention will host two meetings of the USEA Board of Governors.
