Conference Registration 2026

Each individual coming to the conference should complete a separate registration. There is the ability to add a guest to your registration if a spouse does not have an email address.

If you have a family member who is not attending the conference but would like to join you at the Sunday banquet you can add an additional meal during your registration.

Payment can be made by credit card or check. If you wish to pay by check select the "Invoice Me" option at the end of the registration process.

You can cancel your registration yourself. Log into the website (top right of the page) and then you will see an "Already registered" link below the "Register" button.  Click on this link and you will have a cancel option.

Pre-registration closes on June 9, 2026. After that you will need to register at the conference. In-person registration will not allow field trips.

Refund policy: Requests to refund conference fees will be considered if received by ARARA by June 6, 2026. Requests for a refund should be sent to our treasurer.

If you need help signing up for the conference please contact Troy Scotter

    The conference will feature speakers,  several workshops, a banquet, vendor room, auction, and our wonderful field trips.

    Great Falls is at the confluence of the Sun and Missouri rivers and is named for a series of five waterfalls located on the Missouri River north and east of the city. There is a considerable amount of rock art in the area. 

    We are managing the banquet differently this year. Everyone will have the cost of the banquet included in the overall registration price. The only exception will be Native American participants who will have the option to add the banquet to their registration.

    ARARA supports students, and is offering special assistance to those attending the conference.  Contact our Education committee for further information.

    This is a virtual only registration for the ARARA 2026 conference so that members who choose not to travel to Great Falls can watch the Saturday and Sunday daytime presentations and participate in our member meeting. Registration will be per household. Only one person per household needs to register. Anyone else in the house can participate for free. Invite friends over to participate! You will receive a zoom link that will allow you to watch the presentations in real-time.

    We will endeavor to provide the best streaming experience, but we will be at the mercy of the hotel internet system. We will still allow participants to ask questions of presenters and of the Board during the member meeting.
