New to HEAV?
If you do not currently have an HEAV number, one will be created for you when you register for the convention.
Parents of Preschoolers & Non-Homeschooling Grandparents
You may register in person but will still need an HEAV number. If you know your number, bring it with you! If you do not have an HEAV number, one will be created for you upon registration at the convention.
