Welcome to Synergy3 Registration!

Polymer work by Synergy3 Chair, Connie ClarkThis conference has much to offer for both returning Synergy veterans and for those attending for the first time. In Seeking Higher Ground we feel certain that you will find content to interest you whether you use polymer clay exclusively or other medium in your art. The conference goal is to help advance industry and personal levels in business, design, technique, and provide the abundantly helpful networking with fellow art enthusiasts we all benefit from.

If you have not already done so, you may find it helpful to read through the Presentation offerings and presenter bios, the Synergy3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), and the Gallery FAQ. These sections, found on the Synergy site, will help you decide what items you will sign up for as part of your registration process: seminar selection, Gallery participation, Saturday banquet and live auction, auction donation, and the method of payment for your choices.

We are excited that you will be joining us in Atlanta for Synergy3 in March and look forward to seeing you then.
