Conference Registration

Registration for this event is closed.

The NASFAA National Conference will be held in person June 26-29, 2022 in Austin Texas. In addition, two weeks after the in-person conference, NASFAA will offer a robust 100% online virtual conference that will consist entirely of unique sessions not offered at the 2022 in-person event. Registration for the virtual conference is institutional rather than individual, so for just one low cost everyone on your NASFAA roster can participate. More information is available at nasfaa.org/virtual 

We encourage schools to register for both events since they will offer unique programming.

Registration Requirements (Updated March 2, 2022)

To ensure a safe and healthy environment for conference attendees, reduce the spread of COVID-19, forestall shifting guidance that could limit our ability to hold an in-person meeting, and be in compliance with all current and possible future federal and local requirements, all attendees at NASFAA's 2022 National Conference must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to attend. A fully vaccinated event is the best way to ensure that we can hold an event in a mask-optional environment. Attendees should be prepared to show proof of vaccination at the event. You may read below about additional safety measures we will be taking.

By registering for the conference, all attendees agree to comply with both the NASFAA Event Conduct Policy and accept a waiver of liability relating to COVID-19.

Additional COVID-19 Protocols and Safety Measures

  • Upon checking in on-site at the registration desk, attendees will be able to select a button to pin to their conference lanyard (red, yellow, or green) to indicate their comfort with socializing, with green indicating they are comfortable with normal contact and close conversations, yellow indicating their preference for minimal contact (think fist bumps versus hugs or handshakes), and red indicating their preference that other attendees maintain a distance of six-feet-away, as possible.
  • If you are symptomatic at the time of the event, or have been exposed to someone who has recently contracted COVID-19, please do not attend. Scroll down to read our policy on cancellation due to illness or potential COVID symptoms.
