Registration & Payment
What is the cancellation policy for the International Conference?
Do I need to pre-register for the educational sessions?
No, you do not need to pre-register for conference sessions during the registration process.
What if I want to register after the event has started?
You can still register for the International Conference after it has started — whether that is for our virtual option or in-person.. When you register, it may take up to one hour for AmSECT staff to provide you with access to the virtual sessions. If you are attending in person, stop by the registration desk to pick up your conference badge. We recommend registering as early as possible. You cannot register after the conference ends.

How do I pay for my registration?
AmSECT accepts credit cards and checks for International Conference registration. Credit card payments must be completed online during the registration process.
If you are paying by check, select the “Bill Me” option at checkout to generate an invoice. Mail a copy of your invoice and your check to:
AmSECT National Headquarters
1601 Utica Ave S, Suite 213
Minneapolis, MN 55416
When does my payment need to be received to ensure I have access to the conference?
Please have all check payments mailed by Friday, February 19, 2027 to ensure access to our virtual or in-person event. Due to USPS delays, sending payment as early as possible is requested. We cannot accept payments sent by FedEx or UPS, and registrants will not have access to the content until payment is received and processed. If your payment is not received by March 6, your registration will be deleted and you will need to re-register at the prevailing registration rate.
No check payments will be accepted after February 19, 2027.
I didn’t receive my registration confirmation. What do I do?
Your registration confirmation email is sent once payment is received. Please contact amsect@amsect.org to have your confirmation resent.
If you registered on the day of the event, it may take up to one hour for AmSECT staff to provide you with access to the virtual sessions.

Virtual Conference
What will be different about a virtual conference?
AmSECT strives to ensure that all attendees receive the same high-quality education you expect from the in-person International Conference. Virtual attendees can watch all offered sessions, attend the educational breakout session of their choice in each time slot, earn continuing education credits and submit questions during the Q&A.
Please note that watching recorded sessions after the live event does not earn CEUs.
The virtual format of the event also allows us to offer select educational breakout sessions to those unable to attend our conference in-person.
How will the virtual conference be run? Will it be easy to navigate?
The AmSECT Virtual Conference will be run through the mobile app. AmSECT will provide attendees with access to the app in advance, and AmSECT staff will be available throughout the conference to assist attendees.
What ADA accommodations will be made on the virtual conference platform?
AmSECT complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act and is committed to providing a positive experience for all attendees.

What device can I use to access the virtual conference?
