Registration Categories
Group Registration
When five or more attendees from the same school or workplace register together, they qualify for an exclusive group rate. This fee applies to APTA members only and does not include preconference workshops or special event tickets. To receive the group discount, all registrants must be active APTA members, a single point of contact is required, and payment must be made in one transaction (via check or credit card).
Speaker Registration
Speaker registration details are available in the APTA CSM Speaker Center.
View instructions on accessing the Speaker Center.
The discounted speaker rate applies only to educational session speakers. Complimentary registration for preconference session speakers, platform presenters, and poster presenters will be offered through their respective sections.
For technical assistance with the Speaker Center, email apta@confex.com. For other questions, email APTA Event Programming.
Guest Registration
A guest registration option is available for those accompanying registered attendees in a social capacity. A guest is defined as someone who is neither an APTA member (nor eligible to be) nor a related professional. Guest registration allows friends or family members of registered attendees to accompany them in the Exhibit Hall and at special events (note: tickets may be required for certain events or receptions). However, guest registration does not grant access to any educational sessions.
Guests cannot register independently; their registration must be tied to a fully registered attendee, who must accompany them at all times. Guest passes are an official badge option for APTA members and related professionals to add to their registration for individuals ineligible for APTA membership. Guest passes are not a substitute for Exhibit Hall-only passes.
Exhibit Hall-Only Pass
This pass grants access exclusively to the exhibit hall floor, with no access to program rooms or eligibility for CEU credits. It is available as a one-day pass for members and related professionals who wish to explore the exhibit hall without attending any educational sessions. Passes can be purchased online starting Jan. 15 or onsite during registration hours at APTA CSM.
