Q: What is the price if you pay after Early Bird Registration Deadline?
A: Prices increase by $50 in each category.
Q: I live outside the U.S. and want to attend your annual meeting. Can I obtain a "letter of invitation" to support my documents to apply for visa to the U.S.?

Q: How do I register for your meeting?
A: Registration is available online. Registration will open on May 12, 2020.
Q: This is my first time attending your meeting, how does the registration work? Do I register per class or per day?
A: Attendees at Academy meetings register for the entire meeting, although single day registrations are also available. Attendees do not sign up for classes ahead of time (except for workshops, ACE courses, and leadership courses); most of the classes are filled on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Q: I am bringing a guest with me to the meeting, should I obtain a guest pass, so that person can attend a few lectures with me?
A: The seating at our education sessions is limited; and primarily it has been reserved for anticipated attendees needing CE. For this reason, the Academy is unable to accommodate individuals who may want to observe our CE courses. However, we would like to invite you to register for a guest pass, so that your guest can participate in other Academy activities such as our Exhibit Hall, Awards Program and Alumni Receptions.
Q: How do I go about canceling my registration for the meeting?
A. All cancellation requests must be received in writing. For a full refund less a $25 fee, cancellation requests must be received by August 14, 2020. Any requests received between August 14, 2020 and September 10, 2020 will receive a full refund less 25%. No refunds will be issued after September 11, 2020.
Q. I am a current resident, but I am also a Candidate for Fellowship. Can I register for the annual meeting at the student/resident rate?
A. Yes. Please contact registration@aaoptom.org if you have any difficulty registering.
