Convention Registration

COSA Gateway to Recovery Summer Convention
St. Louis, MO – June 23-25, 2023

Join us in person the weekend of June 23-25, 2023 in St. Louis, Missouri. This event starts on Friday night at 7:30 p.m. and ends Sunday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. Convention is in-person only—no hybrid or virtual sessions—not a repeat of the Winter Virtual Retreat. Help us meet hotel guest room and meal commitment deadlines by registering early!

Hotel Registration – Deadline May 22

Hotel rooms are very reasonable. The deadline for the special room rate of $127/night is May 22, 2023 (not including hotel taxes/fees). After May 22, guest rooms are at market rate if rooms are still available. Please make hotel reservations directly with the Clayton Plaza Hotel / cpclayton.com / 1-314-726-5400 (using meeting code “COSA Meeting”). If you need to share a room, let us know and we will connect you with another willing COSA. Most rooms have two queen size beds, refrigerator, and microwave–great for sharing! The hotel offers free breakfast and parking for registered guests.

Convention Registration – Deadline June 16

Convention registration fees are at a tiered rate (early, regular, late, daily walk-in registration) to help us meet hotel guest room and meal commitment deadlines. Sorry, there are no refunds after the final deadline of June 16th, but you may transfer your paid registration to another person and arrange reimbursement with them directly. Convention registration fee includes Saturday luncheon speaker event for those pre-registered by June 16. Partners are welcome to attend the speaker events, but there is a $40 charge for the Saturday lunch.

Please fill out the form below and then pay at the end. In order to match your registration with payment, we need your last name which is kept confidential. Registrations are not complete until paid.

You will receive an automated email confirming that your information has been received. Within a week after payment, you will receive a separate registration confirmation email (check spam/junk folders). If you have any questions, please email registration@cosa-recovery.org.

We are looking forward to meeting you in person at the Gateway to Recovery!
