You can find about everything you and your members might be interested in knowing about the Convention on their very complete website. It can be found at: https://grago2019.org/
The website lists the Artists, Venues, Exhibits, Schedules, Scholarships, Registration, the Host Hotel, contacts, etc. About everything you would need to know.
The are different Registration RATES based on how early you register. (For example: if you are an AGO Regular member the “early bird” rate on or before March 15 is $375. After that date the price goes up to $425. If you are a Senior—the “early bird” rate is $325; but will go up to $350 after March 15. The price for AGOYO (young organists) is $300. The price for NON-AGO members is $450. (For the complete details and pricing look at their website.)
Also, the convention hotel, the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, is a grand bargain—and up to four people can stay in one room for one very reasonable rate. (It is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in.) You can register for the hotel right on the Convention’s website.
If you can come a day or two early, or stay a day or two after the convention you will greatly enjoy the City of Grand Rapids. There are many lovely parks and museums there. Also, the RYOC/Quimby Competition for Young Organists will be on Saturday June 29 starting at 1:30 pm at Immanuel Lutheran Church–before the convention “officially” begins.
If you have any questions, please feel free to send them to me, or Peter Kurdziel, the Convention Coordinator @ chair@grago2019.org or call/text him at 231-286-9708
