Name badges will be issued to all registered in-person attendees, regardless of registration type. Badges must be worn at all times while participating in ASHA Convention activities, whether in the Convention Center, at our leadership hotel, or at off-site activities such as the ASHFoundation Reception. One-day registrants will have the day they selected to attend printed prominently on their badge to prevent re-use. Exhibit Hall–only passes indicate limited access.
Please be aware that if exhibitors scan the bar code on your badge during the ASHA Convention, you are agreeing to share your information with them and consenting to allow them to contact you, even if you opted out during the registration process. (Read more about the Privacy Policy.)
Attendees who register for the ASHA Convention by October 25 and choose to have their badges mailed to them in advance can expect to receive them by mid-November. Badges for one-day registrants are not mailed in advance; you may pick up your badge at registration onsite after 3 p.m. the day before they are attending. Even if you received your badge in the mail in advance, you still must check in by scanning your badge when you arrive to verify your attendance so you may claim continuing education credit after the Convention concludes.
Please do not forget to bring your badge. There is a $10 fee to reprint lost badges. If your badge does not arrive in the mail, you will be able to print it onsite when you check in at no cost.
If you received your badge by mail, bring it with you to Seattle along with any corresponding tickets. Upon arrival, visit one of the attendance validation stations listed below, available starting Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. A member of our Bage Scanning Team will validate your attendance by scanning the QR code on the front of your badge. You only need to scan/validate once.
If you need to print your badge when you arrive, stop by one of the Badge Printing stations in the Summit or Arch Buildings at the Seattle Convention Center, starting Wednesday, December 4 at 11:00 a.m.
Decorate your badge with ribbons, available at the ASHA Member Service Center, inside the Summit Building, Level 2 Flex Hall, starting at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, December 5. Gender pronoun ribbons will be available.
You can pick up your sponsored ASHA Convention tote bag in the Arch Building, Atrium starting at noon on Wednesday, December 4.
