On-line registration for the Conference should be on our website (www.bktexas13.org). Due to planning and logistical issues, we will be cutting off on-line registration 5/1/25 in order to finalize headcounts for the banquet and other major events. Once the link is up, please encourage your members to register ASAP. The registration fee for members and guests will be $95 as we had in Springdale. There will be no onsite registration for the Conference.
