No, you do not need to pre-register for conference sessions during the registration process.

You can still register for the International Conference after it has started – whether that is via our virtual option or in-person. When you register, it may take up to 1 hour for AmSECT staff to provide you with access to the virtual sessions.

If you are attending in-person, you can 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.

With this format, AmSECT is striving to ensure that all attendees receive the same high-quality education that you expect from the in-person International Conference. Virtual attendees will be able to watch all offered sessions, attend educational breakout sessions of your choice in each time slot, obtain continuing education credits, and submit questions during the Q&A.

The virtual format of the event also allows us to offer select educational breakout sessions to those unable to attend our conference in-person.

Please note that watching the recorded sessions post-live event will not garner any CEU points.

The AmSECT Virtual Conference will be run through the mobile app. In advance of the conference, AmSECT will provide attendees with access to the app. AmSECT staff will be available throughout the conference to support and assist attendees.
