On October 25, our registration provider will begin mailing badges to everyone who registered by October 25 for the full 3-day event and opted to have their badge mailed in advance. (One-day and international registrants must pick up their badges onsite.)
If your badge does not arrive before you leave for Seattle, do not worry! Simply come to the Registration area outside Exhibit Halls 1 and 2 on the Exhibit Level of the Summit Building at the Seattle Convention Center, and we’ll help you get a new one printed. If you have questions about registration or badges, please reach out to registration@asha.org so we can help.
Stop by the Arch Building atrium at the Seattle Convention Center to say hello to the Reading with Rover dogs during the ASHA Convention. Reading with Rover is a nonprofit organization bringing kids and dogs together to discover the joy of reading and become more confident. Reading with Rover teams visit libraries, schools, hospitals, and more, providing opportunities for kids to improve literacy and experience therapy dog visits.
We are pleased to announce that Alison Levine will join us as keynote speaker at the Opening General Session on Thursday, December 5 from 8:00 a.m.–9:30 a.m. She is a history-making mountaineer who founded a non-profit dedicated to improving women’s lives in western Uganda. When not challenging herself outdoors, Ms. Levine focuses on training others to become strong leaders.
On Saturday, December 7, we will welcome Justin Osmond as our keynote speaker for the new Closing General Session. Join us on from 3:00p.m.–4:15 p.m. to close out the 2024 ASHA Convention and kick off ASHA’s 100th anniversary in 2025.
The ASHA Convention will be spread over several facilities this year. The Seattle Convention Center is comprised of two buildings and ASHA will be using both:
Some activities will also be held at our Co-Leadership hotels:
These facilities are not connected, but we will have plenty of guidance on hand to help you get to where you need to go. If you have a mobility challenge, scooter and wheelchair rentals are available through Scootaround to help you get around at the ASHA Convention.
Since this year's ASHA Convention falls at the end of the semester when many students and educators are taking or administering exams, we have set aside rooms at our co-leadership hotels for quiet study or testing. The rooms will have wifi and powerstrips to plug in devices, but will not be staffed or monitored.
Gain support to attend the ASHA Convention from your employer with our new toolkit.
