No, you can access all of the public information without registration or logging in. The purpose of the registration is to establish you as an event participant.

You will create a user Profile to establish a username and password.

Building a profile provides participant information and statistics often needed by your local, state, and national Reading First offices. Additionally, once a profile is created, you won’t need to enter the same information again to register for future events.

Simply click here or email our staff at events@mikogroup.com and ask for your user id and password.

Just ask! You may email us at events@mikogroup.com. Please provide your first name, last name, and home state then we will search our system for your profile. If you have a profile we will email your user id and password. If a profile is not found, you will be directed to profile building instructions.

No. It is much more time efficient to simply provide changes in your current profile by logging in to our website and click “UPDATE YOUR PROFILE” to submit changes. We will email you confirming the changes.

No. If you need to register for an additional event, you will only need to login with your username and password. Your profile only needs to be created one time.

Home information is generally used in two instances. The first case would be if an attendee needs to be contacted concerning a registration when school is not in session. The second is when event related materials are mailed to an attendee’s home. Emergency contact information is only used should a medical emergency arise. We have found that most co-workers, although traveling together, seldom carry each other’s emergency contact information. This information will only be used for official purposes by Miko Group, Inc. Information will not be used for any other purpose and will not be shared.

Either you already have a profile with Miko Group or someone else has selected this username. If you think you may have a profile established, got to forgot password to retrieve your username and password, then simply login. Otherwise, enter a more personalized username. (For example, Robert A. Smith = RobertASmith1)

Yes, after you are emailed a username and password, login to Miko Group's Registration Site and select the event you wish to attend.

Although our registration system is set up for individuals to register themselves, we realize that due to time constraints and delegation of tasks, it becomes necessary for one person to register others. The representative will need to have all the information required to establish a profile for each attendee. It is recommended that the registrant’s email be used as the primary and the representative’s email listed as the secondary. If the attendee already has a profile established, simply log on with the attendee’s username and password and then choose an event. Since the entire process just takes a few minutes, we recommend that the attendee complete the process themselves.

No. If you are confirmed for an event and choose to send someone else in your place who does not register with us for the event, you will be considered a no show and they will be considered a walk-on when they arrive at said event. As a walk-on, there is no guarantee that seating will be available.

For the National Reading First Conference, walk-ons are highly discouraged. This event often reaches maximum capacity for the selected convention center and walk-ons will be turned away if this becomes the case. As for state events assisted by Miko Group, each state differs in their guidelines for walk-ons. However, we would like to emphasize that if you choose to walk-on and do not create a profile with us, there will be no guarantee that the documentation of your attendance will be recorded for credit. Proof of attendance is often necessary to earn CEU and Professional Development certification.

After you have submitted your request for registration you will receive an email notifying you whether your registration was confirmed. If you do not receive a response within one business day, please contact our office. You may also login at any time and view the status of the event you selected for registration. The event number changes to your registration number. The date of your request and a status code are shown. Pending = New Request CNFRM = Confirmed CNCLD = Cancelled DELAY = Delayed RJECT = Not Accepted WAIT= Waitlist

With 5,700 schools and 1,700 districts participating in Reading First, we must make registration available to all. For the National Reading First Conference, the 3rd registration and beyond (for your school or district office) will be automatically added to a waitlist.  After all schools have had time to be notified, submit travel requests, be granted permission to attend, and then register, a decision will be made regarding opening of the waitlist.  Should it appear that space will be available, the 3rd (and possibly 4th) registration will be accepted. We would suggest that all interested parties submit a registration request at www.mikogroup.com to secure space on their school’s waitlist.
