I think I’m registered for the meeting. How can I check?

I don’t remember which sessions I registered for. How can I find out?
Please contact Chris Broughton, Meeting Registration Manager 212-752-0450 ext.19.

I pre-registered for the meeting. How and when will I get my badge?
Pre-registered participants may pick up their material (badge, final program, committee schedule, etc) as early as Monday, February 10 at APsaA’s headquarters. Click here for days, times and location of registration.

I do not plan on pre-registering. I will register when I get to the hotel. How and when will I get my badge?
Starting on Monday, February 10, on-site registration will be open.   Click here for days, times and location of registration.

Why should I pre-register for sessions?
Pre-registration is highly recommended. It allows ApsaA to see which sessions are most popular so we can plan accordingly. Also, many Chairs send materials to pre-registered participants prior to the conference. There will be no on-site registration for sessions. If a session is not listed as closed in the Final Program, you may go to that session and see if there are seats available. Please allow those that pre-registered to take their seats first.

Why should I pre-register for the meeting?
The reduced meeting registration fees are the best reason for pre-registering. Registering on-site will be more expensive. Also, picking up your registration material is quicker if you have already registered. Save yourself the aggravation of waiting on line at the meeting!

I want to register for a single session. Can I do that?
There are no single session fees. We do have a one day registration option and a reduced fee for Sunday only. Click here to see the various registration fees available.

I changed my mind about which sessions I want to attend. Can I make any changes to my pre-registration?
Please contact Chris Broughton, Meeting Registration Manager 212-752-0450 ext.19 before Tuesday, January 7, 2020. After that date you can attend sessions as long as they are not listed as closed in the final program.

I am interested in the reduced registration fees for Research/Educator/Psychotherapist or Student/Resident Associates and other benefits. Am I eligible to join an associates program?
To register as an Associate and take advantage of the reduced registration fee, applications need to be received by APsaA before the pre-registration deadline of Tuesday, January 7, 2020. New applications cannot be processed at the meeting. Former Associates should renew their 2020 affiliation prior to attending the meeting.

Please click here for information and fees for APsaA’s Associates Programs.
For any additional questions regarding the programs, please contact Debra Steinke Wardell, Manager, Education and Membership Services, 212-752-0450 ext. 26

Does APsaA limit attendance at the actual sessions?
APsaA reserves the right to limit attendance at any session for safety, professional confidentiality or organizational reasons. Please note the more popular sessions will reach room capacity quickly and you may wish to plan for an alternative.
