A membership discount code is available to any member of ARHE, ARS or AAPG. Membership must be active at time of purchase, as well as during the conference dates.

If you’re not sure of your membership status or have not received the discount code, email [email protected].

Students do not receive a member discount to the conference, as student registration is already discounted.

Student registration can be used by students registered in full-time classes. Part-time students may utilize student pricing only if they are not also employed by the institution. Student pricing is not intended to be utilized by professionals taking courses.

Please note that we will fully refund your ticket upon request until Friday, April 11, 2025, less a $50 administrative fee. Refund requests received between April 11, 2025 – May 16, 2025 will be refunded at 50%, less a $50 administrative fee. Refunds may not be granted after May 16, 2025.

Cancellation requests or refund requests must be submitted in writing to Louise Irizarry at [email protected] 

If choosing the option to “Pay Later” by Check or Purchase Order, you are agreeing that this registration is binding and held to the same refund/cancellation policy as a registration paid in full by credit card. Full payment must be received by Friday, May 16, 2025. If full payment is not received by this date, your registration may be cancelled and a new registration with full payment at the late registration conference rate will be required, unless otherwise notified in writing by Louise Irizarry ([email protected]).

ARHE accepts payment by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), check, or purchase order. 

Credit card payments may be remitted online via the conference registration portal website at the time of purchase, or through the ARHE website if changing payment type post-registration.

Check payments may be remitted through the mail via the ARHE mailing address:

Changes in payment method can be accommodated by contacting Louise Irizarry at [email protected].

If payment has already been received, changes in payment require receipt of funds via the new method before any monies can be returned. A refund for the original payment will be provided by ARHE after the new payment has been deposited.

Changes in payment method after May 16, 2025 will be subject to a $50 administrative fee. Please be sure you are using the correct payment method before purchasing. 

All session and keynote presenters are required to register for the event and cover the full cost of their registration, unless told otherwise in writing by the Executive Director of ARHE. Due to the timeline to receive confirmation of presenter status, presenters will be permitted an extension of the Early Bird Rate during the Regular Rate period. After this date, the Last-Minute Ticket fee will apply.

While we recommend that presenters attend the entire meeting, a daily rate option is available for those who prefer to choose specific days.

For poster sessions, at least one of the listed authors is required to register for the event and be available onsite. Poster session authors will be permitted to record a brief overview of the poster for attendees to view, even if not all authors are in attendance.

All presenters must check-in to the onsite Registration Area upon arrival to receive a name badge (which is required for admittance to meeting sessions and all areas of the conference).

All presenters must make their own travel arrangements. Presenters are responsible for all costs relating to their travel, unless told otherwise in writing by the Executive Director of ARHE.

All presenters must make their own lodging reservations. Presenters are responsible for all costs relating to their lodging, unless told otherwise in writing by the Executive Director of ARHE. The hotel booking link can be found on the Conference Website.  

ARHE/ARS/AAPG consider a conflict of interest (COI) to arise when all of the following conditions are met:

• The presenter has had a financial relationship with a company within the last 24 month
• The company is a for-profit entity
• The presentation topic is directly connected to the company’s products or services.

To avoid any potential commercial bias resulting from such conflicts, all presenters must disclose any financial ties with for-profit companies, including but not limited to ownership of a business, consulting roles, speaking engagements, research or grant support, or major stock ownership. Disclosure forms will be sent to presenters after the Call for Proposals, and only those selected for sessions or posters are required to complete the form. All presenters or authors must complete the disclosure before CE units can be evaluated. Presenters or authors who do not complete the disclosure will have their name removed from the program.

If a conflict of interest is identified, ARHE will determine the necessary steps to address it, which may include:

• Disqualification of presentation
• Allowing the presentation with alternative presenter(s)
• Allowing the presentation with certain conditions:
  • Assessment of the process by which the practice gap was identified and the learning objectives and content were developed
  • Assessment of potential value of the educational content, presenter’s qualifications and expertise (unique and not otherwise attainable), and program planner’s or committee/coalition chair’s commitment for direct involvement in measures to resolve the presenter’s COI)
  • Review of presentation materials by members of the Conference Planning Committee
  • Assignment of a moderator to the session to monitor and, if necessary, control for commercial bias
  • Confirmation of appropriate disclosure to learners

In general, presentations with a documented conflict of interest will not be afforded CE units, per Amedco’s CE policy.

All presenter disclosures will be shared with attendees, allowing them to assess the information and determine if the presenter’s external relationships might introduce bias into the content or conclusions presented.
