Registration Policies

All individuals, including program presenters, attending the convention must pay a registration fee. Program presenters must be registered by 15 December 2023 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 15 December 2023 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 21 March 2024. You must have your own individual ID number. You will not get a member rate by using your college/university or organizational member ID number.
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, download the ACPA Registration Transfer Request Form and email to [email protected].
