Planning Resources: Make the Most of Your Time

Mobile App and Convention Planner

Download the ASHA Convention mobile app to your phone or tablet. The app allows you to:

  • Search for sessions or presenters,
  • Build a schedule,
  • Access handouts (if shared by presenters),
  • View exhibitor profiles and bookmark the ones you want to visit,
  • Use the location finder feature to navigate the convention center,
  • View the list of meetings and social activities,
  • And so much more!

Create an account using your www.asha.org login and password and anything you save to your schedule will be viewable in both the mobile app and the Convention Planner once you sign in.

The Convention Planner is the desktop/web application version of the mobile app. A Convention Planner station, where you can search for sessions, check your schedule, or enter the sessions you’ve attended into the ASHA Learning Center for continuing education credit, will be available at the convention center.

Pocket Planner Booklets

We encourage you to use the mobile app as your primary resource for navigating the ASHA Convention, however, limited print copies of the Pocket Planner booklet will be available at any of the ASHA Information Booths, registration, or the tote bag pick up area. The Pocket Planner is a quick-reference program overview that lists one-hour oral seminars and exhibitors. It also has floor plans for the convention center and the JW Marriott.

Policies and Logistics

Familiarize yourself with the policies and logistical information on our website. You’ll find need-to-know info about the meeting code of conduct, lost and found, first aid, our recording policy, rooms for nursing moms, and much more.

ADA Requests and Scooter Rentals

If you have a disability, as identified by the Americans With Disabilities Act and need accommodations relating to mobility, hearing, vision, or other areas while onsite, pease send an email to accessevents@asha.org as soon as possible.

Requests for reasonable accommodations at the ASHA Convention should be made as early as possible, and well in advance of the event, so that we have adequate planning time to meet individual needs. We may be unable to fully accommodate ASL interpreter requests received after October 5, or other requests received after October 22. We will fulfill requests for accommodations made onsite during the ASHA Convention to the best of our ability, however, resources may be very limited.

Scooter Rentals

If you have a mobility challenge, you may rent a scooter or wheelchair through Scootaround to help you navigate the ASHA Convention. Scooters will NOT be available onsite to rent and must be arranged by the attendee prior to arrival in Indianapolis.

What to Wear

Business casual or dressy casual attire is recommended during the ASHA Convention. The temperature in session rooms may vary from hot to cool, so attendees are advised to dress in layers. Comfortable walking shoes are a must.

Safety and Security

Your safety is our top priority. We work closely with the Indiana Convention Center and our hotels to help ensure a safe experience. Security measures will be in place so only authorized individuals can access ASHA Convention spaces. 

Your safety outside the convention center is also important. Here are a few general tips to follow during your stay:

  • Answer your hotel room door only when you can identify the person knocking.
  • Do not wear your badge outside ASHA Convention functions or on the street.
  • Walk in groups when you are outside the convention center or your hotel.
  • Let someone know where you are going when you leave the hotel or convention center.

We look forward to welcoming you in November for a safe and meaningful time together in Indianapolis.
