There is no Tradeshow on Monday, July 20, or Tuesday, July 21, but Monday-only registrations will receive access to the Caregiver Community Expo, Technology Lab, Wellness Hub and Poster Sessions. 

There are certain sessions that require pre-registration, including Pre-Conference Intensives, Mobile Workshops and optional activities as listed on the registration site. Some of these sessions may require an additional payment beyond the Conference registration fee, which is listed on the registration site. 

Pre-Conference Intensives are offered on Friday, July 17, and Saturday, July 18. These workshops are NOT included in Full Conference or One-Day registrations and may require payment of an additional fee. Please visit the detailed agenda page on the Conference website for more information. 

In an effort to assist with menu planning, you will be able to indicate dietary allergies and preferences during the registration process. However, because the venue is not a dedicated allergen-free facility, there is no guarantee that cross-contact will not occur during meal preparation or service. The Conference strives to consider a variety of dietary preferences in the meal planning process and aims to offer a wide range of options that satisfy many preferences (vegan, vegetarian, dairy free and gluten free).

USAging is committed to the full inclusion of all individuals at the 51st Annual Conference and Tradeshow. During the registration process you will be able to request an accomodation to help facilitate your participation.
