Miscellaneous Registration FAQs
PAYMENT for Registration: Payment for registration must be in U.S. dollars and may be paid by check drawn on a U.S. bank and made payable to APhA. MasterCard, VISA, or American Express are also accepted for payment. Note your member / non-member status within APhA determines your registration fee. APhA will accept purchase orders from federal government agencies and military institutions only. Purchase orders will be accepted via mail and fax (not via the Internet) and must be submitted with a completed registration form. Badges, tickets, and receipt will not be issued until payment is received. You must provide a credit card guarantee with your initial registration and purchase order. If the check isn’t received within 30 days after the meeting, your credit card will be charged for the full amount. Contact the registrations@aphanet.org if there are additional questions.
Confirmation and Badges: Registration confirmations are sent via the email address on your APhA record, within two business days of receipt of your registration. Review your confirmation thoroughly to ensure your registration includes everything you are expecting. Exhibitors should report to the Exhibitor Desk. Badges and tickets are not sent in advance; they are all distributed on site.
Changes and Corrections: To make changes or corrections to your registration, click on the appropriate link in the confirmation email. Changes and corrections may also be submitted to registrations@aphanet.org or by fax (202-448-8734) through March 17. Changes and corrections required after this date must be made on site. *Please note that you can make a substitution for another attendee up and through AM2020
Cancellations: All registration cancellations must be in writing to the APhA InfoCenter. Prior to February 30, refund minus $100 administrative fee. After February 30 no refund will be provided. Ticketed event fees are non-refundable except when an event is cancelled by APhA. *Please note that you can make a substitution for another attendee up and through AM2020
Spouse/Guest Registration: The Spouse/Guest registration category is for non-pharmacist spouses or guests who wish to visit the Exposition, and attend the opening reception and closing reception. Continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits are NOT awarded to spouse/guest registrants.
International Attendees: The U.S. Department of State is the official United States visa information source with information about visa requirements, U.S. embassy and consulate locations worldwide, and wait times for visa interview appointments/processing. Travelers are advised to apply for visas well in advance of intended travel dates. Although APhA may not provide official travel endorsement, a Letter of Invitation is available by completing the Letter of Invitation request form
Children
Children under the age of 18 are not permitted in the exhibit hall or educational sessions at any time due to insurance liability issues. This includes children in strollers and carriers.
