Instructions

You may register for the full Annual Meeting or choose Friday, Saturday, or Sunday-only registration. (Details about one-day registrations are available on the registration page.)

To Receive Member Pricing

Members, please LOG IN BEFORE registering to receive member pricing on registration fees.

This year, our fee structure has changed slightly. Affiliate members (non-dues-paying members) will pay slightly higher registration fees. To avoid paying these higher fees, you may want to consider joining the NPA as a full, individual member BEFORE you register.

Full or affiliate members receive substantial discounts on meeting registration fees. If you would like to become either a full, individual (dues-paying) member or an affiliate member (your institution must be a Sustaining Member of the NPA) to save on fees, you must do so BEFORE registering. To join, follow this link. We welcome your enrollment!

Discount Codes

Please note: If you are a speaker, an NPA leader, workshop presenter, travel award recipient, or sponsor, please contact the NPA Staff for your special "promo" code BEFORE registering. This code will need to be entered on the check-out page to receive your discount.

Innovation in Action Session I

This year, we are piloting selection of sessions during registration to help us make more informed room assignments. For this pilot, we are using the Innovation in Action Session I to determine the number of people interested in each discussion topic. Please select ONLY one of the topics.

Optional Event

As you begin registration, you will have the opportunity to purchase tickets to the Saturday Evening Social/Networking Event to take place on the beaches of Charleston. The cost for this event is $40 and is an additional charge and not included in your meeting registration fees.

Demographics

We will ask for some demographic information. Your responses will be kept confidential and anonymous. The aggregate results will be used in grant writing and reporting.

Group Registration??

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of our online software, we are not able to offer group registrations with one log-in. Those registering multiple individuals will need to obtain each person's NPA log-in information and permission to log in as that person to register her or him. You will need certain information for each person (download a preview of the registration form to see what information is required). If you wish to receive one invoice for all of the persons you are registering, please select "Bill me" when you get to the check-out page and send an e-mail to Amy Wilson, the NPA Office and Marketing Manager ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ) requesting one invoice for all of those you have registered. Please include a list of their names.
