IMPORTANT NOTICES FOR
MEETING ATTENDEES
SESSION LOCATIONS
Please note: this online version of the program does not include session
locations. The locations of all individual sessions will be included in the
paper program that you will receive when you pick up your registration
materials at the meeting (if you opted to receive a paper program) as well as
in the meeting app beginning the first day of the meeting.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT REGISTRATION
Please note: it costs $50 less to register in advance than to register at the
meeting.
Early bird registration at www.apaonline.org is available until March 14 at
11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Online registration will be closed from March 15
until March 27. Beginning on March 28, registration will reopen, and you
may register online or at the meeting registration desk.
Registration fees provide the major source of support for every divisional
meeting. Without that income, the APA is unable to host meetings and
provide quality services and resources to members. Thank you for your
support and cooperation.
PRONOUN STICKERS
Beginning this year, as a show of the APA’s commitment to diversity and
inclusion, we are introducing pronoun stickers for your name badge,
including blank stickers that will allow you to use a pronoun of your own
choosing. Stickers will be available for pickup at registration and can
easily be worn as a show of solidarity, and a means of making our annual
conference a friendly and safe environment for all.
GENDER-NEUTRAL BATHROOMS AND QUIET ROOM
A gender-neutral bathroom and a quiet room will be available at the Westin
Gaslamp. The gender-neutral bathroom is located on level three of the
meeting space in the pool area. A key for the quiet room is available at the
registration desk.
