Service & Policy: Lost and Found

ASHA is not responsible for items lost during the Convention, nor is ASHA responsible for returning found items to attendees.

Found items brought to any ASHA Information Booth will be held at that booth for the remainder of the day; at the end of the day, the items will be brought to the ASHA Convention staff office. When the Convention concludes on Saturday, all unclaimed items will be turned over to the Seattle Convention Center.

It is the responsibility of attendees to follow up with the Convention Center’s Public Safety Division to retrieve lost items, which will be held for 90 days. After 90 days, the items are disposed in accordance with the Convention Center’s DC Property Disposal Guidelines.

To inquire about a lost item after the ASHA Convention, please contact the Convention Center at 202-249-4111.
