When to Arrive and Leave
The conference break out sessions officially begin on Thursday, September 28, 2023 at 8 AM, and conclude on Saturday, September 30 at 12:00 pm. FABA's Pre-Conference workshops will be held on Wednesday, September 27th and require an additional ticket purchase.
Most attendees will want to arrive by Wednesday evening in order to attend the Welcome Reception and the Annual special session that has been held by the BACB the past six years as a method to deliver pertinent updates to the members of FABA.
If you would like to take advantage of the full conference event, departure travel should be planned for Sunday, October 1. We encourage all attendees to experience the full conference.
Registration Cap
This year, we will be capping registration at 1,800. This number is determined by the Fire Marshal as the maximum number of people who can exit the conference area in the event of an emergency. Please avoid attempts to attend the social events only without registering for the event to limit overcrowding. Please also plan to wear or display the conference name badge to security should you be prompted to do so.
On-Site Registration
FABA does not offer on-site registration. This event is for preregistered attendees only.
Transportation
Below is information about the distance to several airports as the hotel does not offer a shuttle.

Parking
Both Valet parking ($45) and self-parking ($10-hotel guests/$30-drive-in guests) are available at the hotel, but these rates are subject to change. An additional overflow lot is located further away from the hotel with free parking subject to availability. FABA does not validate, reimburse, or offer additional discounts on parking rates.
Weather/Conference Attire
In September, the temperature is an average high of around 90 degrees, with an average low around 75 degrees. Meeting room temperatures tend to be cold. Please 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 to you.
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 relating to 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 Regency 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 be photographing 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.
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 in the event that omissions or errors occur. However, FABA also affords attendees and members the opportunity 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.
