ASCT
Registration for this year’s annual conference is open now. Be sure to register before April 4th to receive the early bird discount! This year’s registration website is a little different from the one you’ve seen in previous years. So here are some tips to help you navigate.
Click here to go to the registration website. The menu on the left-hand side of the screen will allow you to view and/or download the full conference brochure, register for the meeting, reserve a hotel room, and get more information about Thursday night’s bus tour.
To register (once you have navigated to the registration page):
• If you do not have an ASC membership: Click the “Register” button under “New Customers”. Select the desired registration options (note: member pricing is not listed; all fees will be adjusted during the billing process). If you choose to enter payment information at the time of registration your information will be reviewed and if you are a current ASCT member the price will be adjusted to the member rate prior to finalization of your payment. Alternately, you can select “Bill Later” from the billing option pull down menu. You will receive a billing invoice showing the adjusted price once your ASCT membership has been confirmed.
• If you have an ASC membership: Click the “Member Login” button, enter your username and password when prompted, select the desired registration options and complete the billing information.
We apologize for any confusion you may have experienced. If you have any questions please contact Jenna LeBlanc at Jenna.Benson@acphs.com or Eliza Enstine at eenstine@hotmail.com.
