MAG 2019

Join us for MAG 2019, Nov. 13-15, 2019 at our new venue: the beautiful Princess Royale Oceanfront Resort and Conference Center, oceanfront at 91st Street in Ocean City!

MAG is excited to welcome internationally-recognized formative assessment expert Dylan Wiliam, Ph.D., back to the conference as the 2019 Keynote Speaker at our Wednesday night opening event. For a more in-depth workshop with Dr. Wiliam, join us for the pre-conference session on Wednesday afternoon.

Dr. Wiliam’s most recent book, Creating The Schools Our Children Need, is now available online.

Conference Details and Registration

Participants attending the conference pay a registration fee that includes sessions they are attending and all-conference meals (Wednesday dinner, Thursday breakfast, lunch and dinner, and Friday brunch).

For those participants seeking an additional educational learning experience, MAG provides a thematic pre-session. This year’s pre-session will be presented by Dylan Wiliam, Ph.D. Please note that registration for the pre-session is separate from conference registration and at an additional cost.

Registration and Cancellation Policies

The MAG Fall Conference registration opens in April. A discounted “early-bird” registration rate available to all who register in advance. Discounted group rates apply for groups of four or more; certain other discounts apply to conference presenters, CEASOM board members, and student teachers.

Participants may register using the MAG online registration site until the week before the conference. After that date, walk-in registration is permitted.

Participants who cancel their registration within thirty (30) days but not less than ten (10) days of the event receive a refund minus an administration fee. No refund will be given to any participant canceling ten (10) days or less before the event.

Where Does My Registration Fee Go?

Approximately 80% of the registration fees collected for MAG 2019 will go to the costs associated with building the conference being held. The remaining 20% helps pay office and administrative expenses.

The fees associated with the MAG Pre-conference (offered the morning and afternoon on the first day of the conference) fund the speakers and other amenities related to the Pre-Conference.
