General Registration Information

General Registration Information

You must be an individual member of AIHA to pay the member rate for AIHA Connect 2027. Your 2027 membership must be current before you may receive the member registration fee. 

Registration for exhibit space in the Expo is a SEPARATE registration and requires additional fees in order to participate.

Payment​

Registrations require payment in full at the time of registration. Registrations received without payment are considered incomplete and cannot be processed. Individuals will not be considered registered for AIHA Connect until the issue is resolved. Full payment is required before materials may be picked up on-site and/or credentials will be recognized in the mobile app or virtual platform.

Credit card payments: Registration fees will be charged immediately to the card provided, which must have an expiration date of May 2027 or later. A valid credit card is also required to guarantee a hotel room. Two different cards may be used – one to register and one to confirm the hotel reservation.

Purchase Orders (POs): POs do not constitute payment for AIHA Connect. Attendees who submit POs will be issued a balance-due invoice upon receipt of the PO. The invoice must be paid in full by 11:59 p.m. ET on March 21, 2027, or the higher standard registration fees will apply. Full payment is required before materials may be picked up on-site and/or credentials will be recognized in the mobile app or virtual platform.

Students​

AIHA Connect offers a discounted rate to AIHA Student Members. Students who meet membership criteria must join AIHA first to receive the student rate for Connect (NOTE: Student membership is FREE!).

Stay and Save Discount Policy​

AIHA Connect 2027 is pleased to offer a STAY AND SAVE registration discount. Connect registration will be discounted $250 for attendees booking housing in the official Connect housing block. The deadline to book a hotel reservation is Wednesday, May 5. After this date, discounted registration rates no longer apply. If attendees book housing in the official AIHA Connect housing block and later cancel their reservation, the additional $250 USD registration fee will be automatically charged.

Attendees who live within 50 miles of the George R. Brown Convention Center and plan to commute to AIHA Connect are exempt from the increased registration fee. 


Conference Confirmations​

Once your registration has been processed, you will receive a confirmation via email (check your spam folder as the confirmation may have been tagged as spam by your email provider). If a confirmation is not received, contact AIHA Connect customer service at 864-208-3388 or connect@maritz.com.

Badges and Tickets

Attendees will receive final instructions in April about picking up badge materials and logging into the mobile app/virtual platform.

Compliance With Health and Safety Measures

While AIHA Connect is not currently implementing health and safety protocols, In-person participants agree to abide by any protocols required of AIHA/AIHA Connect by national, state, or local rules or regulations. If guests are unable or unwilling to abide by these requirements, we will be happy to register you for Virtual Connect.
