Registration Policies

All individuals, including program presenters, attending the convention must pay a registration fee. Program presenters must be registered by 22 November 2024 or programs will be reviewed for removal from the convention program and spaces offered to presenters on the alternate list. Individual presenters on group programs that are not registered will be deleted. Research paper and research poster authors who will not be present at Convention must be listed on the proposal as authors, not presenters. Research paper and poster presenters who are not registered by 22 November 2024 will be changed to authors.
Student rates are for full-time, currently enrolled students only. You must be an ACPA Graduate or Undergraduate Student Member to qualify. Those who are employed full-time are not eligible for student rates.
In order to qualify for member rates, membership with ACPA must be valid through 19 February 2025. You must have your own individual membership. ACPA Members who purchase a Convention Registration understand their membership needs to be active through 19 February 2025. If it is not active prior to the start of the 2025 Convention you will not be provided with your Convention credential unless you renew your membership or pay the difference between the non-member and member registration cost. (Member will be required to enter their initials at the time of registration to signify their agreement and understanding).
Registrants with a one-day pass are permitted to upgrade to a full registration. However ACPA’s cancellation policies will apply for those who need to change their order from “full” to “one-day” registration.
Registrations are transferable to ACPA members and registrants of the same membership type. Registration transfers are not permitted to non-members. To transfer a convention registration, email [email protected]
By registering for the ACPA Conference you are agreeing to hold harmless and release ACPA for any injuries, claims, or costs on your behalf and on behalf of any minors accompanying you. Individuals for whom an Under 18 Guest Pass has been purchased must at all times be escorted by and in the presence of their fully registered member (parent or guardian) while at the ACPA Convention and while in convention facilities. ACPA is not responsible for the wellbeing of individuals under 18 registered using the Guest Pass registration. It is your responsibility, not that of ACPA, to supervise and ensure the wellbeing of such minors on whose behalf you hereby release ACPA from liability and costs for any injuries, illness, or harm however serious that might be.
