How do I book my hotel?

Hotel accommodations can be booked through the official AASECT room block. We encourage you to reserve early, as rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Book your lodging here by visiting the accommodation page.

Where will the meeting sessions be held?

The entire conference and all educational sessions will take place at the conference hotel.

How do I find my way around on-site?

All registered attendees will have access to the conference mobile app, which will include a map of the event space. We encourage everyone to download the mobile app to get the latest alerts and connect with participants on site.

Where can I find the conference schedule?

Do I have to pre-register for the sessions I want to attend?

No, pre-registration for conference sessions (excluding pre-conference workshops) is not required. All concurrent sessions are open, and conference attendees can attend sessions as room capacities allow. Meeting rooms occasionally fill up, so be sure to get to your first-choice sessions a few minutes early. Registration and additional fees are required for pre-conference workshop sessions.

How do I get my CE credits?

AASECT will be tracking all CE credits electronically during the Annual Conference. Attendance at educational sessions will be recorded through a name-badge-scanning system at the entrance to each education session. Each attendee will have a personalized barcode on their name badge that will be scanned when entering and exiting all educational sessions to track attendance. Once the conference concludes, you will be emailed with instructions on how to download your CE Certificate.

What CE Credits are available?

Select sessions are approved for CE credits through APA, NBCC, and NASW. For details on which sessions are eligible and their specific approvals, please visit our CE Credits page.

What’s the best way to connect with people at the conference?

Students, new AASECT Members, and first-time conference attendees are invited to a short orientation preceding the opening plenary session. Select board and committee members will host you and provide information about the conference. Social events and the exhibit hall also provide great opportunities to meet people and connect with peers. The mobile app allows you to message other attendees. AASECT is a friendly community, so if you see an AASECT nametag, introduce yourself.

Will the sessions be recorded?

No, conference sessions will not be recorded.

Will sessions be translated?

Yes. Sessions held in the San Juan Ballroom will be translated into both English and Spanish. Additionally, any session hosted in Miramar 1 where the speaker is presenting in Spanish will be translated into English.

Will sessions be live-streamed?

Yes. Attendees who purchase a virtual conference ticket will receive access to Zoom links prior to the conference.

Is there a dress code?

There is no formal dress code. Attendees are encouraged to dress comfortably and in a way that feels authentic to them. We recommend business casual attire for sessions and layers for varying room temperatures.

Is there a Conference Code of Conduct?
