ASHG strives to make its Annual Meetings as affordable as possible, so various registration rates are offered to ease the financial burden. We recommend registering before the early deadline on August 6 at 5pm ET to take advantage of the lowest rates. Becoming a member of ASHG will save you even more! The regular member registration rate saves you up to $400 – that’s more than the cost of membership itself!

Other ways to reduce costs for attendance include:

• Booking your flight and making your hotel reservations early to take advantage of lower rates.
• Consider reaching out to colleagues attending so you can consider sharing a room.
• Apply for these merit-based awards by submitting an abstract:
  • ASHG Trainee Research Excellence Award – merit-based travel awards for predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees ranging from $750 – $2,000.

Attire is business casual. Wear comfortable shoes and dress in layers since the Convention Center may vary in temperature.

ASHG does not sell or share member/attendee lists, so our exhibitors do not have access to your information from ASHG meeting registrations. Some exhibitors may have your information from previous years if you attended and chose to share your information with them or they may have collected your information from your employer website if your contact info is listed. You may unsubscribe at any time from unwanted emails.

There are no meals, snacks, beverages, or other refreshments provided as part of the Annual Meeting and none of these items are included in the cost of registration, regardless of registration type. Visit the registration page for what is included with registration fees. Any coffee or refreshments provided at the Annual Meeting will be available in limited quantities on a first come, first served basis at the sponsoring organization’s discretion, and is not intended to serve all attendees. ASHG encourages attendees to plan to purchase from concession stands, convention center shops, or nearby restaurants. Review the local food options here.

Registration does not include parking at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. Please review parking options.
