We are planning the 2021 ASHA Convention as a hybrid in-person/virtual event. This year, you will have the option of registering for the in-person event or for the virtual portion only. Registration and housing reservations will open on August 2 at 10:00 a.m., ET.
You must provide proof of vaccination to register for the in-person event. Accommodations may be offered on a case-by-case basis for any participant who is unable to be vaccinated due to disability or sincerely-held religious beliefs.
To provide proof, you will follow a simple, secure online process to upload a copy or photo of your vaccination card, which will generate a verification code that you enter in the registration system.
If you have questions about registration, please email registration@asha.org. If you have any questions regarding your membership status, need help with your ASHA.org account, or want to join ASHA or National NSSLHA, please call the Action Center at 800-498-2071.

All presenters (whether for in-person sessions or pre-recorded virtual sessions) are required to register for the ASHA Convention at the rate that corresponds to their membership status as outlined above, and to arrange their own travel and accommodations, even if with special circumstances. If you are a presenter and not a member of ASHA (because you are not a speech-language pathologist and/or audiologist and therefore ineligible to join ASHA), please contact registration@asha.org after you receive your acceptance letter to request special registration instructions. Notifications of presentation acceptance and nonacceptance are e-mailed in mid-July.
If you are a presenter who is a student in the field of audiology or speech-language pathology, you must be a current National NSSLHA or ASHA Graduate Student member to register at the student rate otherwise you will need to pay the non-member registration fee.

Exhibit hall-only passes will be available on a limited basis.
