Base Registration with Opening Plenary Only, and it includes access to sessions, the exhibit hall, the opening reception, and any affiliated council events marked open to all.
(This registration does not include the Hail & Farewell Luncheon, the Awards of Excellence Gala, or the Networking Breakfast) Registration Rates are based on the time at which you register.

Registration during the Early Bird and Late registration periods must be paid at the time of registration.

On-time registrants must pay fees within 30 days of registering. Your registration will remain in pending status until payment is received.

PAYMENT: All check payments must be received by February 27. It takes approximately 15 days from the time you mail a check payment until it is received in AACC's lockbox. AACC cannot accept check copies as a valid form of payment, and we cannot mark an account as paid using a copy of the check. AACC does not post payments until the check is received in the lockbox. If you intend to pay via check, please ensure that you use the 15-day timeframe to ensure it reaches us by February 27.

SPEAKERS: All speakers must register between November 4 and December 2 for speaker fees. If you register and pay the regular rates, you will not be eligible for a refund if you are later selected as a speaker.
