Event Information
2025 National Conference Rates

Early Bird Rates will require payment at the time of registration via Credit Card.
If you would like an Invoice to pay by Purchase Order, you will be able to register starting on November 1, 2024.
Pre-Registration will end two weeks before the conference in order to allow for proper space and meal planning.
Attendees wishing to register after March 23rd (9pm EST) will need to do so On-Site (if space allows). Meal counts are due to the hotel in advance of the conference and minimal adjustments can be made to meal counts. For this reason, the Late/On-Site Rate does not guarantee meals. Early Bird Rates will be offered for 6 weeks and require payment at the time of registration (CC payment only).
Note regarding payment: Payment is due within the registration window in order to receive that registration rate. Payment made at a later date will be subject to current registration prices. If registering with a Purchase Order, please plan in advance so that check
payment is received promptly. Purchase Orders will not be accepted within 30 days of the event since this does not allow enough time for the Purchase Order to be fulfilled. Purchase Order payments not received by Friday, March 28th must be paid on site or a late fee will
apply and entry may be denied. *Please see Purchase Order Terms and Conditions for complete details.
Note: Registration changes and re-creation of invoices, such as switching a registration from one individual to another, or re-creating a group invoice from previously created individual registrations can be accommodated for a $25 administrative fee. No changes in registration will be accepted four weeks before the start date of the event. Start date is noted as the pre-conference date. In the case of a verified emergency, SSWAA staff will change registrations at their discretion.
​
SSWAA is again pleased to partner with the New York State School Social Workers’ Association (NYSSSWA) in order to provide New York approved CEUs/CE hours. As in the past, you will need to register with SSWAA for the conference and ALSO register with NYSSSWA for just the provision of CE/CEUs. Due to administrative costs, NYSSSWA’s CE Fees are $30 for NYSSSWA members or $60 for NYSSSWA Non-members so BE SURE to include these fees when requesting a Purchase Order for reimbursement from your school district. New York attendees will be notified once NYSSSWA registration is open.
**All ADA Request must be submitted by February 10, 2025 to ensure proper planning.
