2025 REGISTRATION POLICIES: 

The full convention registration rate includes access to all programming sessions, including the Donn Bailey, Opening Session, Round Tables, and the Opening Reception. The Roundtables lunch, Membership Meeting lunch, Awards Gala, and the Student Mentor lunch tickets are optional for an additional fee.

*ONE-DAY PASS POLICY

The one-day pass rate covers your attendance for a single day, which you must select when registering for the convention. One-day registrants may only claim CE credit for sessions scheduled on the selected day. The Opening Reception and Awards Gala are not included in the one-day pass.

PRESENTER REGISTRATION POLICY

All presenters, including co-presenters, must register for the convention, pay the registration fee, and wear a registration badge. There are no presenter registration discounts. NBASLH is unable to pay an honorarium or expenses for presenting breakout sessions at the Annual Convention. We believe that being part of our educational programming will bring many intangible benefits that will make the effort worthwhile for presenters.

**GUEST PASS POLICY

The guest pass includes access to all convention activities, including the Awards Gala; however, you must RSVP for the Awards Gala to receive a ticket at no additional cost. Guests are ineligible to receive continuing education credits or attend the Student Mentor Luncheon. Guests must register with a paid convention attendee. NBASLH members and those eligible for NBASLH membership (SLP, SLPA, AuD, Hearing Scientist, and/or Audiology Assistant) cannot register as guests. A guest is a non-CSD spouse, significant other, or friend.

CANCELLATION POLICY

A refund minus a $25 processing fee will be issued if the NBASLH Office is notified of the cancellation, in writing, no later than March 23, 2025. After March 23, 2025, registration is non-refundable (exceptions will be reviewed and accepted on a case-by-case basis). NBASLH will refund 100% of the paid fees if the convention is canceled due to a pandemic.

BALANCE DUE and PAY LATER INVOICE POLICY

All convention attendee registrations with a balance due must be paid in full by March 23, 2025, to avoid cancellation. Registrants with a remaining balance for a full, one-day, or guest pass registration fee will be canceled on March 24, 2025. Those interested in re-registering for the convention will register at the current rate. Registrants that have paid their convention registration fee and have a balance due for additional ticketed items (roundtables lunch, membership meeting lunch, awards gala, student mentor luncheon, and/or convention t-shirts) will only receive a cancellation for the unpaid event or item. Pay later invoicing is not available after March 3, 2025. If paying by purchase order (PO), you may contact the NBASLH Office after March 3, 2025, to request an invoice.
