Registration

Covid-19 Mitigation

In accordance with CDC and local guidelines, COVID-19 vaccinations are recommended of all attendees (unless there is a medical exception), and all attendees are recommended to wear face coverings when indoors at the conference facilities (unless eating or drinking). Face masks will be provided to ensure everyone has access to them.

ALL ATTENDEES MUST REGISTER. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS OTHER THAN FOR FAMILY PASSES (see note below for restrictions for family passes).

The cost for registration is the following:

Faculty/Post-Doc Member Registration = $70.00 (membership must be purchased previously)
Undergraduate Student/3 Year Post-Bac Registration = $60.00 (no membership required)
Graduate Student Registration ($40) + Membership ($25) can only and must be purchased with registration = $65.00 total
Faculty Sage (Emeritus) Registration = $30.00 (for retired faculty who have contributed significantly to MPA over the course of their careers; must contact Executive Officer for this registration level)

Non-Member Registration (not for undergraduates) = $125.

All prices include registration for the duration of the conference (e.g., you register once and once you have your badge, you have access to the conference for the remainder of the conference schedule; if you lose or forget your badge, you must reregister).

Learn about costs associated with becoming a member HERE.

NOTE: There is no wifi in the presentation rooms or conference rooms. People staying at the hotel can get wifi in their rooms but there is no wifi provided by the conference (due to the significant costs associated with purchasing wifi from the hotel).

Family members attending a single session?

Yes, they can 100% attend and should register but it’s slightly different and less expensive.
To register, all they’ll need to do is come to the 4th floor Exhibit Hall (where all registration happens) about 25-30 minutes before the session they want to attend. Tell the people at the desk that they’d like a single session “family” pass and how many passes they need. They’ll make them a pass on the spot and the charge is $15 for each pass (less than the regular rate).
Family passes are NOT for fellow students on a presentation, not for faculty or grad students wishing to see a single session in which a student or colleague is presenting. These passes are for family (in no way affiliated with the conference or submissions at the conference) who want to see their child/partners single presentation (60 minutes).

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT REGISTERING

  • Pre-Registration closes about four weeks before the conference (March 27th, 2023). All registration after that time will be subject to regular registration rates.
  • You can register a group of people all at once and pay on one invoice if you’d like too! To do this, email the Executive Officer and they can provide info about how to do this. You will need to know the names, emails, and affiliations for all people you want to register, and have them separated by type (undergraduate, grad student, faculty). You can then register them under the GROUP Registration Option which will let you search for them by name, see if they need to update membership, and add any new people to the system. The MPA Executive Officer has specific instructions on how to do this if you need help.
  • Registrations cannot be switched with other attendees.
  • We DO NOT REPRINT BADGES. If you forget your badge, you will need to go back and get it or re-register on site.
