Do we call to book airfare and hotel on our own? Or is that all included in registration?

Schel,

Sometimes your director will find the hotel and flight for you, however if you switch your conference you may have to look for one yourself. Check with your director first and find out.

With my cluster our Director takes care of hotel and flight arrangements, the cost is not included in the registration.
 
I was lucky - my BIL had frequent flyer miles - my airfare was free.
