When to Arrive and Leave

The conference break-out sessions officially begin on Thursday, September 18 at 8 AM, and conclude on Saturday, September 21 at 12:00 PM. FABA's Pre-Conference workshops will be held on Wednesday, September 17 and require an additional ticket purchase.

Most attendees will want to arrive by Wednesday to check in and attend the Welcome Reception.

If you want to take advantage of the full conference event, departure travel should be planned for Sunday, September 22. We encourage all attendees to experience the full conference.

Registration Cap

This year, we will be capping registration at 2,000. This is the maximum number of guests who can safely exit the conference area in an emergency as determined by the Fire Marshal. Please avoid attempts to attend the social events without registering for the in-person event to limit overcrowding. Please also plan to wear or display the conference name badge to security if prompted.

On-Site Registration

FABA will not offer on-site registration. This event is for preregistered attendees only.

Presenters

Presenters will be notified of proposal acceptance or rejection including any necessary edits or revisions by May 31. Presenters must register for the conference to attend and present. FABA will not offer on-site registration. Presentations by unregistered presenters are subject to cancellation. Please be on the lookout for correspondence from BehaviorLive to submit your CEU questions before the conference.

Transportation

Below is information about the distance to several airports as the hotel does not offer a shuttle.

International airports near Miami, Florida:

Parking

Both valet parking and self-parking are available at the hotel. FABA does not validate, reimburse, or offer additional discounts on parking rates. Please check back for updated parking rates.

Meals

Please check back soon for more information about dining options at the conference.

Weather/Conference Attire

In September, the temperature is an average high of around 94 degrees, with an average low of around 80 degrees. Meeting room temperatures tend to be cool. You may want to bring a light sweater or jacket to all meetings.

Visas

Should you require an invitation letter for a Visa application for travel to the U.S. to attend the conference, please forward proof of your conference registration to [email protected] so that a letter can be issued.

Accessibility for Registrants with Disabilities

FABA is committed to providing an outstanding experience for all participants. We strive for full access to the activities of these events based on an awareness of participants' needs and appropriate planning. Accessibility accommodations for mobility, hearing, vision, or other areas may be provided.

We ask that requests for reasonable accommodations requests be made as early as possible, and well in advance of the event, so we may best accommodate individual needs and requirements. Onsite requests will be accommodated to the best of our ability; however, available resources may be limited. You will see the opportunity to express your needs during the registration process as we are here to ensure a comfortable and accessible conference experience.

For questions or concerns about accessibility at this year’s conference, please contact [email protected]

Session Room Behavior

Extensive planning goes into scheduling sessions in appropriately sized rooms; however, the popularity of sessions is not always predictable, and overcrowding occasionally occurs. If a session room reaches capacity, attendees must follow the instructions provided by FABA staff, host hotel staff, volunteers, or security staff. Attendees may be instructed not to stand against the walls or block the aisles or doors, or they may be denied entry if the room is too crowded. FABA is obligated to abide by the guidelines established by the Fire Marshal. If a room reaches full capacity and we do not have your cooperation, the Fire Marshal has the authority to delay or even terminate the session until any problem has been satisfactorily corrected. Please be courteous and respectful to staff and student volunteers when you are directed elsewhere.

Attendees are asked to be respectful of their fellow attendees and to be mindful of potential disruptions during sessions, such as eating food, use of phones or other mobile devices, or the presence of infants and children. Phones and other mobile devices should always be silenced. Attendees should not record presentation slides unless explicit permission has been granted by the presenter(s); please respect the Recording Policy. Further, due to contractual obligations with both speakers, invited presenters, hotel management, and virtual presentation companies, no recording is allowed in sessions including during Ignites and social events without written approval of the Program Chair. Approval is contingent upon disclosing the purpose for the recording as well as adding a disclaimer that content is not endorsed by FABA.

Tipping Etiquette

When attending a professional conference, it is important to adhere to appropriate tipping etiquette to express gratitude for exceptional service while maintaining a respectful and professional atmosphere. It is customary to tip hotel staff, such as bellhops and housekeeping, if they provide exceptional service. When dining at conference venues or nearby restaurants, tipping between 15-20% of the total bill is customary for waitstaff. Tipping should be discreet, and it is advisable to carry small bills for convenience. Practicing considerate tipping habits enhances the conference experience and reflects positively on the organization and attendees.

Presentation Content and Feedback

Through the process of the Call for Papers, all submissions that included an abstract, title, learning objectives, data, and speaker qualifications are reviewed by over 35 independent reviewers from the field. These reviewers are volunteers from across the state that consist of practitioners and researchers as FABA aims to provide the highest quality, state-of-the-art research findings for attendees. However, FABA does not individually vet the specific content of each live presentation in advance of the event. Therefore, FABA is not responsible for the content a presenter may choose to deliver during a live or pre-recorded presentation nor can the FABA Program Committee guarantee that a presentation includes all relevant facts, data, or the most up-to-date research. FABA is not liable if omissions or errors occur. However, FABA also allows attendees and members to deliver feedback to each presenter through session ratings and feedback narratives immediately upon the conclusion of the session. FABA also provides the email address for each speaker at the conference printed in the conference Program to facilitate an attendee's direct communication with the presenter of concern. In line with the BACB's Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts, FABA encourages attendees to deliver immediate feedback directly to presenters should the need arise and, as always, please reach out to the Program Chair should you need additional clarifications or support.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I receive CEUs? During the conference, you will scan-in to each event, or follow the instructions online (if attending the livestream). After the conference, we will process and "release" all CEUs. When that happens, if you are seeking MH/PSY CEUs, you will be able to log into BehaviorLive, go to CEU History, and view the certificate. Once you pay the fee for those CEUs (in CEU History), you will be able to download your certificates. We will send follow-up instructions when this is ready.

Is there a waitlist for in-person registrations? In-person registration is very popular and has sold out every year for the last 3 years. We want everyone to attend and welcome you to attend online if the in-person registration is sold out. No additional in-person registrations or waitlist requests are accepted. On-site registration is not available this year. You must be pre-registered for in-person attendance to attend any in-person event.

How do I access the member discount? If you are planning to purchase tickets using a member discount, you must 1) have an active membership before registering and 2) be logged into that account. If you are unsure of your membership status or have multiple accounts (work email, personal email), please contact us at [email protected] before attempting to register. We cannot retroactively apply membership discounts after the ticket has been purchased. Discounts will end after August 31, 2024.
