How to Register for the 2027 ABS Learning Seminar “All Jazzed Up” in New Orleans

Registration for “All Jazzed Up,” the 2027 ABS Learning Seminar in New Orleans, is open now. To register, use the Regfox registration link published on gnobs.org, choose your workshops and activities, and complete checkout through that page. The event runs March 11–14, 2027. Workshop space is limited and some sessions are expected to fill quickly, so register early if you have specific workshops in mind.

What the Seminar Includes

The four-day program in New Orleans features hands-on workshops, seminars, Friday Night LIVE!, the Joshua Roth New Talent Contest, tours, vendors, an exhibition, Louisiana food, a banquet, an auction, and awards.

A key detail for anyone comparing costs: the Greater New Orleans Bonsai Society notes that presenting sponsor Underhill Bonsai has allowed the seminar to offer hands-on workshops with outstanding material at exceptionally low prices. The site does not list individual workshop prices, so confirm the cost of each session on the registration page before paying.

Step-by-Step Registration

1. Open the registration page. The seminar announcement on gnobs.org links to the Regfox registration site at https://americanbonsaisociety.regfox.com/abs-learning.... If the shortened link does not resolve, go to the American Bonsai Society home page at https://www.americanbonsaisociety.org and follow the seminar registration link there.
2. Review the brochure first. The complete “All Jazzed Up” brochure is available on the American Bonsai Society home page. Use it to decide which workshops and activities you want before you start registering, since workshop choices are the part most likely to sell out.
3. Select your workshops and activities. Registration covers the seminar itself plus optional add-ons such as hands-on workshops. Because each workshop has limited space, the site advises registering early to get the workshops and activities you want.
4. Complete registration and payment on Regfox. The Regfox page is the registration and checkout system for this event. Enter your details and pay there; gnobs.org does not process seminar registrations itself.
5. Confirm your selections. After checkout, check that your confirmation reflects the specific workshops you chose, not just general admission.

Expected result: a completed Regfox registration for March 11–14, 2027, with your chosen workshops reserved.

Common Snags

• A workshop is already full. The site warns that some workshops are expected to fill quickly. If your first choice is unavailable, check the brochure for alternatives before finishing registration.
• The shortened link fails. The gnobs.org announcement shows an abbreviated Regfox URL. Use the American Bonsai Society site as the reliable entry point if the link does not open.
• You are not yet an ABS member or GNOBS member. The seminar announcement does not state a membership requirement for registering. If membership matters for your registration category, confirm on the Regfox page or with the American Bonsai Society before paying.
• You want the full schedule before committing. The brochure on the ABS home page is the place to check the daily lineup, since gnobs.org only summarizes the program.

Registration vs. Local Club Membership

These are separate actions. Registering for “All Jazzed Up” happens through Regfox. Joining the Greater New Orleans Bonsai Society is a different process: applications are available under “Join” on gnobs.org and at every regular meeting, and prospective members may attend a meeting as a guest first. If your goal is only to attend the 2027 seminar, you do not need to go through the club application to register.
