Due to the latest spread of COVID, the ATPI board has decided to cancel the in-person conference for this year. Instead, ATPI will offer the normal Winter Conference contests for students and teachers during the same time frame.
FEES
- There is no conference registration required for schools to participate. Instead, just pay for the contests students wish to enter.
- Entry fee is $8 for individual contests and $20 for team contests.
- Teachers should complete the registration form by Feb. 15 if they plan to enter students.

- The B.I.G. 72 contest is due by midnight Central time on Sunday, Feb. 20.

Registration
Registration is now open for the 2022 ATPI Virtual Conference. Register students for contests using this link.
Conference T-Shirts and Hoodies
We did not meet our minimum order so the ordering form is closed.
We will once again be offering conference shirts. This year we will also have hoodies available. Order shirts by January 31. If we do not have at least 40 items ordered we will cancel the order and all money will be refunded. Include money for shipping in order for items to be mailed to you.
Instructors may choose to direct students to the order site and have them pay individually (include the school name in the order) or order for everyone at once.
This year’s shirts will be black with the conference logo on the front and the manual cheat sheet on the back. Because of supply chain issues, two short sleeve options are available: A Bella + Canvas Tri-Blend and a Delta Tri-Blend. Anyone needing a 2X shirt will need to select the Delta option. Short sleeve shirts are $16.76-16.81, depending on brand. Instead of a long-sleeve shirt, hoodies are available this year for $43.10. All orders are done online.
Contests
On-site contests available to students and instructors. The teacher must complete the registration form to add students to contests.
