2025 AEN Field Officer Conference
Payment Options – As we are using Trybooking, you can pay by credit card, PayPal or Invoice. To pay by invoice, When you reach “Your Cart” at the end of the registration process, you will need to enter the word “INVOICE” under “Gift Certificate/Promotional Code”. This will reduce the ticket price to $0.00 thus triggering AEN to issue an invoice.
