Registration fees, guidelines, and forms for the AAP Annual Meeting September 12-15 in Boston.

REGISTRATION DEADLINES

Registration forms must be received by July 31 for early pricing. Late Registration will be available online from August 1-September 11, 12:00 noon Central Time. No registrations will be processed via fax or mail beginning August 21. Late registrants will be charged a higher fee where appropriate.

The deadline for housing reservations is August 19.

HOW TO REGISTER

For advance registration, please use only one of the registration methods below to avoid duplicate records and multiple charges. Housing reservations and meeting registration cannot be accepted over the phone. Make checks payable to the American Academy of Periodontology, or charge your fees with Visa or MasterCard. Other credit cards, Euro Cards, purchase orders and wire transfers are not accepted.

New This Year!

At $200, the one-day registrant fee will be available on-site (only), and allows access to those courses and events included in the registration price for that particular day.

Membership Number

It is imperative that members of the Academy place their membership number on the Housing and Registration Form. Failure to do so could result in a delay of processing. Misplaced your member number? Contact the membership department at member.services@perio.org or 800-282-4867.

Professional Registrants

Under no circumstances may a dentist register as a guest, spouse, exhibitor, dental assistant, dental hygienist, office staff, family member or dental trade. Registration will be revoked for dentists who register in any category other than "dentist" and the dentist will be charged the appropriate registration fee or will be asked to leave the meeting. Spouses who are dentists are considered such, and therefore, are expected to register in a professional category. This is particularly true if you are seeking CE credits from the AAP.

Spouse Registration

An approved AAP member category is allowed one (1) spouse/guest registration. Approved registration categories are Active, Associate, International and Honorary members. Persons that register in the Spouse/Guest category are entitled to attend the following courses and events: Under no circumstances will spouses be allowed to attend any continuing education courses, including General Sessions, Innovations in Periodontics, Focused CE and Hands-On Workshops.

Emergency Contact Information

In accordance with the Academy’s Crisis Management Plan, the registration form asks attendees to provide emergency contact information in the event an emergency arises during the Annual Meeting. This information will be maintained by Academy staff and will not be used for purposes other than in the event of an emergency.

Other Important Registration Policies

General registration for the meeting is required to register for ticketed events and programs (with the exception of the AAP/AAP Foundation Presidents’ Gala, the After-Party, the Dental Hygiene Symposium and the Insurance Workshops). Members in the Active, Associate, International and Honorary member categories may purchase as many tickets as desired for each Insurance Workshop for distribution to staff. Staff will not be required to register for the meeting, nor will they receive a badge. However, staff should obtain a ticket from their doctor, which they must bring to attend each workshop. Staff members attending only an Insurance Workshop are not considered registered for the meeting; nor will they be allowed to attend other meeting functions or have access to any areas of the Exhibit Hall.

REGISTRATION CONFIRMATION

Confirmations will be e-mailed if an address is provided. Allow 72 hours for receipt of your registration confirmation. Contact Experient at 866-229-2386 or 301-694-5243 if you do not receive your confirmation within 72 hours, as this delay could be the result of your housing request being unavailable.
