Member Meeting FAQs

Yes, a member or non-member registration fee applies for each attendee, and rates increase as the meeting date approaches. Registration fees include access to all sessions, receptions, and meals.

Hotel and travel costs are not included in the registration fee. A discounted hotel rate is available if you book using the reservation link APR provided by APR on the event webpage.

You need to have an individual profile under your company’s membership. You will be required to sign in to your member account to complete your registration.

Need access? Only your company’s primary contact can manage which individuals have access to your company’s membership. Please contact us to find out who your primary contact is and how that person can add users.

If your company is considering becoming an APR member, you may attend one (and only one) APR member meeting for the purpose of evaluating APR whether membership would be a good fit for your company. You are welcome to send as many people from your company as you’d like; there will be a non-member registration fee for each person.

To complete your non-member registration and learn more about APR membership, please contact APR Member Services Manager Rachel Nathanson.

We welcome and encourage attendees from different departments and roles at APR member meetings. Due to the nature of member meeting space and scheduling requirements, it us unfortunately unavoidable that some committee meetings will overlap. To determine how many and which people should attend, you may want to consider:

  • The meeting agenda: When it is available, the meeting agenda will give you an idea of which committee meetings will take place at the same time.
  • Committee objectives: You can see what each of our committees does by going to the APR Committee Work page, scrolling down, and clicking the Learn More and See Working Groups button for each committee. Because committee work continues between and up to APR member meetings, the specific topics each committee will discuss at a particular member meeting won’t be determined until closer to the meeting—but the information on these pages can give you an idea of which employees best align with each committee.

Approximately one week after the member meeting, APR members receive a recap email with links to all meeting materials. These materials can also be found in the APR Member Hub, where you can also find materials from past Member Meetings.

If you attended the meeting as a non-member, you will receive access to all available meeting materials after joining.

Thank you for attending! We hope you found the meeting valuable. To access meeting materials, continue attending APR Member Meetings, and get involved in committees and working groups, your company will need to become a member. Please feel free to contact us to learn more about membership.

Unfortunately, only one registration fee is offered regardless of the amount of time spent at the meeting.

Please contact us to cancel your registration. APR does not offer refunds; instead, we can provide a credit to the next APR Member Meeting. You are also welcome to transfer your registration to another individual at your company.

Registered member meeting attendees will receive the attendee list as part of a digital attendee packet in the pre-meeting email that typically goes out the week before the meeting, as well as in the daily emails that go out each morning during the meeting.

Please contact us to learn about sponsorship opportunities.
