NOVA will no longer be generating invoices because you are now able to do everything online in one place via the online portal!

The attendee, or cardholder, can begin the process by registering the attendee. After entering the attendee’s basic information and selecting which registration product(s) are available (in-person, virtual add-on; virtual and/or membership options), you will then hit the “Purchase” button. Once on the registration details page, you can add another ‘Registrant’ at that time or proceed to your payment method. Selecting “Pay by Check” will provide a detailed invoice of those to be registered. The registration invoice email will be sent to the original attendee but additional email addresses can be added to receive a confirmation email at the bottom of the page.

Once the invoice is approved by the organization, if a credit card payment would like to be made instead, the account is available for future access via sign-in on the online portal. If the organization would rather pay by check, mail a copy of the confirmation email to NOVA along with the check to:

NOVA
Attn: NOVA Conference Registration
510 King Street, Ste 220
Alexandria, VA 22314

If the staff member (attendee) has already registered for the event and has an online account, please have them provide you their log-in (sent in the confirmation email) to access their account. You will then be able to go to the “View Orders” page and pay the pending amount to finish their registration.

If the attendee has not yet gone online, you as the cardholder may go online and register the attendee completely by filling in their relevant information and completing the payment. On the final confirmation page, you will also be able to send the payment confirmation email to yourself.

The registration fee covers attendance of the 4-day event, to include access to over 120 different workshops, dynamic keynote sessions, an incredible Survivor Tribute as well as the Opening and Closing. Meals, transportation, and airfare are all separate from the registration fee.

Check out the schedule at-a-glance!

A group is 5 or more individuals registering at the same time in the online portal with payment made as a one-time bulk payment. The discount will be automatically applied to your online purchase order once all 5 individual attendees have been added at one time (going back into the account later to add more attendees will count as a new order; so, ensure you have all attendee’s information as it will need to be entered at the same time to qualify for the group purchase. Making multiple purchases of less than 5 will not qualify for the group discount and discounts will not be made retroactively). 

This rate is only intended for students under the age of 25 looking to enter the field of victim services who is not already employed with a victim service agency. You can email NOVA at: conference@trynova.org to confirm you meet NOVA’s student rate policy and be provided the code to complete your registration if you do.

NOVA does offer limited need-based scholarships that cover the conference registration fee and 4 nights at the hotel; the scholarship does not cover any other fees associated with attending the event. The scholarship window will be open February 15 through March 15, 2023 and requires a letter of support from your agency’s supervisor should you plan to attend the in-person conference. NOVA’s Scholarship Committee will meet in March to select the five scholarship recipients.  Click here to apply: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/F95HKDD
