Registration
Early Bird Registration for TLS 2026 will open on February 9, 2026 at 9 A.M., on a first-come, first-served basis and will close on March 15, 2026. Regular registration will begin on March 16, 2026, and close on April 17, 2026, or at sellout. There will be no on-site registration. All registrations must be completed in advance of arriving at the event. Once registration is full, additional registrants will be added to the waitlist.
Educators will use Cvent to both register and select sessions for TLS 2026. The Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) strongly encourages the email address used for Cvent to be the participant's official school email address. Personal email addresses have a history of blocking emails from event platforms and/or marking them as spam.
Registration Fees
To help offset the cost of running a high-quality, multi-day event for thousands of Louisiana educators, the LDOE will charge a registration fee for TLS 2026. This fee will cover:
- Conference and expo admission
- Conference sessions
- T-shirt
- Lunch
All attendees will be provided with lunch on May 26 and May 27. Special meal options will be provided for those with dietary restrictions. While educators can elect not to eat the meal provided, discounts will not be given.

Participants can pay for their registration fee in Cvent using Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or AMEX. Payment is due at the time of registration.
The LDOE understands school systems may prefer to submit TLS 2026 registration payments for large groups by check. To ensure a smooth process, systems must first request permission to submit a system-level check. School systems should submit only one check. Paying by check should only be used as a last resort for systems that do not have the means to pay by credit card. Checks from individual schools or individuals cannot be accepted. Check request submissions are due no later than February 13, 2026. School systems will be notified of approval no later than February 13, 2026. Approved checks are due to the LDOE no later than March 30, 2026. Attendees will be registered by the LDOE once system-level checks are received. Please review the Registration Check Submission Request guidance before submission.
Group Registration
Any administrative assistant or designated attendee can register a group. Please be sure to have all important information, as most fields are required. This template can be used to collect attendee information.
Additional group members can be added after an initial payment by selecting "Modify Registration."
Registration Types
There are several registration types. Most attendees register through this website. Exceptions include presenters and exhibitors.
On February 23, 2026, presenters will receive an email with a direct link to submit their complimentary registration. The main presenter and one co-presenter receive complimentary admissions. Additional co-presenters may attend at a rate of $249 each. Presenters can complete a group registration for the two complimentary presenters. Should a presenter change, please notify ldoevents@la.gov. Once the LDOE has this update, the registration can be transferred by the prior presenter to the new presenter.
Exhibitors will receive an email with a direct link to submit payment for the booth, classroom lab, or playground, and register all attendees. The first two attendees registered receive complimentary admissions. Additional attendees attend at a rate of $249 each.
Registration FAQ
Registrations are tied to unique email addresses. The application will not let two people use the same email address. If the same email is entered for a second attendee, an "Error" message will display.
To check the prior registration, go to the Registration page, and select "Already Registered?" Enter the email address and confirmation number. If needed, select the "forgot your confirmation number" link. The confirmation number will be sent to the registered email on file.
Invoices
Invoices are available on the registration confirmation page. Group registrations should show all members of the group on the invoice. If additional group members are added later, a new invoice needs to be downloaded.
Waitlist
Should registration spots become available, waitlist requests will be accepted through Cvent on a first-come, first-served basis. Those educators being moved from the waitlist into a registered spot will be notified via Cvent, and registration will be automatically processed. In order to retain this automatic registration, payment is expected to be completed within 3 days of notification. Login through the Cvent email to process payment.
Cancellations And Transfers
