The KCM is both excited and disappointed to announce that we have reached our registration limit for the 2023 KCM Conference. We are unable to accept any more registrations at this time. The wait list is also closed.
Any registered participant who is unable to attend should first try to find a replacement from their own school or school district and notify the KCM of the new person who will be attending in their place so their registration can be updated. If they are unable to find a replacement, they should contact the KCM to see if someone can attend from the wait list in their place. If a replacement is unable to be found from the wait list, the original registered participant is still responsible to pay their invoice even if they do not attend.
2023 KCM Conference
Monday and Tuesday, March 6 & 7, 2023 at the Hyatt Regency Lexington
The theme for the 2023 KCM Conference is EMPOWER: Building United Mathematical Communities.
After a 2-year break from meeting in-person, the KCM can't wait to see everyone again!
Breakfast and lunch provided both days. Free parking. 8:00 am - 3:30 pm.
Registration fee is $215 per participant.
REGISTRATION FEE REFUNDS:
PLEASE NOTE: All Registration Fees are NON-REFUNDABLE after January 20, 2023. Should you register and find that you are unable to attend the 2023 KCM Conference on March 6 & 7 for any reason, please contact the KCM at 859-572-7690 or kcm@nku.edu. If the KCM has a WAIT LIST and someone takes your spot, the KCM will void your registration and you will not need to pay the registration fee. If there is no one on the WAIT LIST to take your spot, you can send someone else from your school, district or organization to attend in your place. If you do not attend and someone else does not attend in your place - you or your school/district/organization is still responsible to pay the registration fee.
