You will receive a workshop status email in early to mid-March. On rare occasions, The CREO Insitute has been unable to operate a seminar due to low enrollment, security concerns, or other reasons. Therefore, it is The CREO Institute's policy that participants should not purchase plane tickets until an official confirmation of seminar operation has been sent. The CREO Institute is not liable for any airline cancellation or change fees.

Please contact the hotel directly to book your room. Be sure to mention The CREO Institute in order to access our block of rooms.
