What’s included?
In-Person Registrants
The following are included when you register to attend the meeting in-person at the Louisville Downtown Marriott:
Virtual Registrants
Live stream access to all Plenary Sessions on Wednesday and Thursday; the Hospital Concurrent Track only, held on Friday; access to the virtual exhibit hall; and all virtual online events. In addition, attendees will have access to the Conference Portal to view all recorded sessions through July 6, 2025.
Conference Rebroadcasting Policy
Virtual Registrants Take Note!
As a virtual registrant, your access to the Conference Portal to view live and recorded sessions entitles only you - the paid registrant - to view those live-streamed or recorded sessions. Permitting others to watch live-streamed or recorded sessions, broadcasting or distributing the live-streamed sessions or recordings, and/or recording or copying any portions of the live-streamed or recorded sessions, violates the terms of your conference registration and infringes copyright. This policy also applies to in-person registrants viewing recorded sessions post-conference.
In-Person Workshops
The ODS Exam Prep, Informatics for Cancer Registry Professionals, and Fundamentals of Abstracting workshops are in-person events only and are not available for virtual attendance. Learn more by clicking the button below.
