  • If you cannot remember your access credentials, please use "forgot my password" at the Bravura site.
    
  • Create a new account if you've never done so.
  • If you are unable to complete your registration, the system will email you your access information to re-enter the site and complete at a later time.
  • Once your registration is complete, you will receive a final email confirmation with payment details. If you do not receive this message (check your spam) but it may mean you didn't complete the process.

A Note About Abstract Submission and Conference Registration Fees

Conference fees are set to ensure that ACSP is able to cover costs including contracting with vendors for conference related software including the abstract submission system, and the conference registration system, as well as all on-site provisions including food and beverage, audio visual equipment, printed materials and necessary staff which increases during the season of the conference. Conference fees also pay for awards, keynote speaker fees, AICP certification fees charged by APA, and to enable the ACSP to continue to subsidize student registration fees. The annual conference has historically served as a revenue generator for ACSP necessary to support initiatives such as faculty and student-focused workshops, ACSP committees and interest group special initiatives, and ACSP year-round staffing.

Registration Cancellation Policy

As the days tick off toward ACSP2024, we understand that changes happen. However, the ACSP incurs costs for the conference at different points in time that would be considered a loss due to registration cancellation. We have tried to provide a flexible policy to mitigate loss by either the attendee or the ACSP.

• For cancellations requested on or before the end of  day September 1, ACSP will refund the registration fee minus a $50 cancellation fee.
• For cancellations on September 2 and before the end of day September 19, ACSP will refund 75% of the registration fee (ACSP will retain 25%), no documentation required.
  
• For cancellations on September 20 and before the end of day October 1, ACSP will refund 50% of the registration fee (ACSP will retain 50% of the fee), no documentation required.
  
• For cancellations on October 2 and before the end of day October 14, ACSP will refund 25% of the registration fee (ACSP will retain 75% of the fee).
  
• After November 1, ACSP will not consider refunds without supporting evidence provided in writing and will decide on a case-by-case basis after the conference is over. Supporting evidence for hardships include medical receipts, flight cancellation documentation, and the like.
  
  

Additional Tips for Registration

• Registering More Than One Person - The registration system allows one individual at a time to register, but it is a quick and easy form so registering multiple people won't take too long. The ACSP only takes credit cards for conference registration fees (no purchase orders, no invoices).
  
• Justification Letter Template: If you need help justifying attendance, ACSP has crafted a letter for attendees to edit as necessary and submit to the appropriate individual or office in their department.
  
• Questions? Email membership@acsp.org for questions or assistance.

Conference Accessibility

We will ask on the conference registration form if any attendee needs accommodation for the in-person event, but please reach out to Camden Miller, ACSP Conference Manager camden@acsp.org, with specific conference needs or concerns. Thank you!

Letters for Visa Application or International Travel 

If you need a formal letter for travel purposes, email membership@acsp.org with the important details that should be included in the letter.
