General FAQ

Will there be a virtual option for this meeting?

The AALS 2025 Annual Meeting will take place in person in San Francisco, CA. There is no option to attend virtually. We will accommodate virtual presentations for speakers who cannot attend in-person due to disability or medical requirement.

Can members of the press attend?

Registration for members of the press is complimentary. Please contact the AALS Director of Communications to request a press registration for the Annual Meeting.

How do exhibitors register?

Registration for exhibitors and sponsors will open on September 30. Exhibitors and sponsors will receive an email with instructions on how to register once their application has been processed. If you have questions about your complimentary exhibitor or sponsor registrations or need to verify you are in the AALS database, please contact the AALS Director of Development.

Consent to Use of Photographic, Video, and Audio Materials

AALS will have a photographer and videographer at special events, sessions, exhibits, and throughout the hotel common areas used for the Annual Meeting. Photos and videos taken during the Annual Meeting will remain the property of AALS and may be distributed or used in future marketing materials. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting indicates your acceptance to be photographed, filmed, or recorded, and to AALS’s use of your image, without payment of any kind, in program(s) and for other purposes designated by AALS in the future.

Can I get continuing education credits for attending the Annual Meeting?

The AALS Annual Meeting does not offer CLE credit, but you may request confirmation of attendance. We have a new process this year: 

    1. On the mobile app, at the top right corner, select the gear icon, then select “My Profile”, then “Settings” and then toggle option to request “Need Letter of Attendance”.
    2. Throughout the meeting, use the mobile app to check into the sessions you attend.
    3. After the Annual Meeting is over, we will send you a letter of attendance that will list every session you checked into.

We will only be able to verify attendance for sessions where a registered attendee checked in or is a listed speaker in the program. If you have any questions, please email [email protected].
