When can I register for the State Conference?
Early Bird Registration will open on 11/15/26 and close on 12/15/26. Regular Registration is 12/16/26 through 1/22/27. Adding attendees to the registration site during the early bird window will hold the lower rate, even if the registration is not submitted until after the early bird window closes. Late registrations will not be accepted. Changes to registration after the registration deadline (1/22/27) will cost $25 per student per change and include adding events to students, editing teams, and substituting new students for those who are already registered and unable to attend. Removing attendees from registration is free of charge. The conference payment deadline is 1/31/27. A 10% late fee will be added to the invoice if proof of payment is not received by January 31, 2027.
How do I register for the State Conference?
You will login to the registration system using this link. Your login information is your National TSA Affiliation Username (Chapter ID #) and Password. On the registration site you will be able to register TSA members who are affiliated and submitted in the National TSA web portal.
Each student can be registered for up to five competitive events. Certain events have a limit on how many teams or individual can be registered from each chapter. This information can be found on the competition page.
During the registration process you will select the events that each student will compete in. Changes to the competition registration can be made as many times as you like until registration closes on January 22, 2026.

Changes to registration will be reflected in the invoice within 3 business days of submission. Payment may be made using bank transfer, check, credit card, or PayPal.
