Our Frequently Asked Questions are a collection of common questions and requests submitted to the 2024 MIECHV All-Grantee Meeting planning team. We will continue to update this section often as the meeting approaches.

Registration

When does registration close for the 2024 AGM?

Registration will be open through January 26, 2024 or until all spots are filled.

Is there a cost to attend the AGM?

What should I do if I didn’t receive a registration confirmation email after registering?

Sometimes the registration confirmation email goes to your Spam or Junk email folder. Please check there. If you still can’t find your registration confirmation, please contact info@miechvmeeting.org.

Can larger awardee teams have more than 5 staff members attend the AGM in-person?

Due to space constraints, awardee teams are limited to 5 in-person attendees. As we approach the conference and have a better sense of available space, we may be able to approve additional staff from awardee teams to attend in-person. Please reach out to your Project Officer with your request and provide the cutoff date for when you would need to get travel approvals and make travel arrangements for the AGM.

Who should attend the AGM virtually?

Unless part of the 5 staff member awardee team who are attending in-person, we encourage home visitors, local home visiting program staff, and families participating in home visiting programs to join the AGM virtually.
