Registration and Housing - Key Registration Elements
1. Name and Address Information
Please provide your full name and address on the form as the successful receipt of General Meeting materials is dependent on the accuracy of this information. ASM membership numbers must be included for registrants to be eligible for member rates.
2. Demographic Information
Kindly complete the demographic information. For scientific specialty, please choose a discipline from the list provided under Demographic Information.
3. Hotel Reservations
Hotel reservations are only available to registered General Meeting attendees. Hotels will not accept direct reservations for rooms. To reserve a room, complete all of section three of the Registration and Housing Form when you submit your registration. In addition, please list your roommates, if any, and indicate whether cost, location, or a particular hotel chain is most important. Credit card information must be included with your housing request. For this year only, your credit card will be used to guarantee your room.
Government Rate Availability: Most of the hotels in the ASM block honor the US Government Per Diem Rates established for travel to Boston. If you are a government employee or contractor, and have the appropriate documentation required at check-in, you may check the "government rate" box on the registration form. Please note that the number of rooms available varies by hotel, and is limited.
It is to your advantage to register promptly, as hotel rooms are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. If your requested hotel is no longer available, we will make every effort to honor your indicated preference for cost, location, or other consideration.
4. Registration Fees
Select your registration category, and any optional fees such as Abstract Book purchase or international courier fee. Please make sure to check off the fees that apply.
5. Total and Payment Type
Payment must accompany your registration form, either by check (made payable to ASM in US Dollars, drawn on a US bank) or with a credit card number. To use fax, phone or website registration, a credit card number must be provided. ASM accepts MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover. Please note that your credit card will be billed immediately for registration, optional fees and housing deposit.
