Badges Badges must be worn to gain admission to all events, including sessions, tours, and the Exhibit Hall. All attendees that pre-register will use express pass registration and pick their badge up on-site. AERA will not mail badges in advance. You will need to print your registration confirmation with bar code and bring it on-site to have your badge printed. In addition to the badge, the Annual Meeting Program and Program Supplement (if you opted to receive these), and a badge holder may also be picked on-site. Once on-site, there will be a $5 replacement fee for lost badges. Guest Registration Guest registration is designed for the spouse, partner, or family members of the registrant. Guests may visit the exhibits and attend the session(s) in which the registrant is presenting. Guest registration is not applicable for professionals (including students) in the field of education research who will be attending sessions or presenting papers. Guest registration must be included as part of the registration of another individual. Only one guest is allowed per registrant. Guest badges will not include the guest’s institutional affiliation and “Guest” will be clearly noted on the badge.
Registration Payment Registration fees may be charged to American Express, MasterCard, or VISA. Purchase orders are not accepted as payment. Make checks for registration payable to AERA Registration Bureau in U.S. dollars, drawn on a U.S. bank. No registration or housing request will be processed without applicable payment.
Refunds Registration fees and/or Professional Development course fees will be refunded, less a $25 service charge, if a written request is received at the AERA Registration Bureau by February 20, 2014. Written requests can be e-mailed to [email protected] or faxed to (866) 518-9751.
