FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need to be a CAA member to attend the conference?
You do not have to be a member to attend, but CAA members pay a discounted rate for conference registration.
What does my conference badge allow me access to?
The conference badge allows admission to all sessions and entrance into the Book and Trade Fair.
Do I need to register if I want to attend only one or a few sessions?
Day tickets, available onsite for $160, get you a conference badge, a Program, and access to sessions and the Book and Trade Fair for one day. CAA bly recommends registering in advance for a lower rate.
I am not a CAA individual member, but my school is an institutional member. Does this mean I can register at the member rate?
This option is only available to early and advance registrants whose institution holds a current Library/Department/Museum or Academic/Corporate Membership. Discount rates for employees of institutional members are not available onsite. Please contact your institution or CAA’s Membership Department at 212-691-1051, ext. 12, to inquire about your institution’s membership status.
Can I get into the Book and Trade Fair with my CAA membership card?
No. Access to the fair is available only to those with a conference registration badge or an Exhibit Hall ticket ($15 members and $25 nonmembers). The ticket is good for all days and times the Book and Trade Fair is open.
Are there any parts of the conference that are free and open to the public?
All 1½-hour sessions (held during breakfast, lunch, and dinner hours), ARTspace, Convocation, and Career Fair Orientation are open to the public and free of charge.
I registered in advance for one of the tours or special events, but I can no longer attend. Can I get a refund or credit?
CAA cannot refund or credit you for the cost of the event. However, you are encouraged to post a notice on the message boards in the registration area, so that other conference attendees can purchase your unwanted tickets directly from you.
Can I put my name on a waiting list for one of the tours or special events?
We do not keep waiting lists. You are encouraged to check the message boards in the registration area, where other conference attendees who cannot attend may list tickets for sale.
If I register for the conference and cannot attend, can I get a refund?
Registration fees are nonrefundable.
If I lose my badge onsite, can I get a replacement?
Badges can be replaced for a $50 fee in the registration area.
