Come to WeeM and Register at the Door!
Whether you’re just picking up your registration packet or you’re registering on-site, bring your government-issued photo id. If you’re registering on-site, your Mensa number will be required to avoid paying an additional $10. Pay by check, credit card, or with cash. Please read the Code of Conduct by tapping/clicking on the button to the right.
Registration Rates
Please note that Mensa rates assume membership in good standing. IDs will be verified on-site when you pick up your badge. The additional charge for non-Mensans or Mensans whose membership has lapsed is $10.
There is no charge for children age 8 and under to attend when accompanied by a registered adult; and there is a discount for attendees under 21 years of age.
If you preregistered and were paying by check, it must have been received by the appropriated deadline to qualify for a discounted rate. Otherwise you will be expected to pay any additional amount when you pick up your registration materials at WeeM.

This is your best value! Enjoy four days of programming, hospitality, and fun activities hosted by Chicago Area Mensa!
