Registration & Onsite Badge Printing 

We strongly encourage all attendees to register in advance of arriving onsite. If you choose to register onsite, only payments by credit card are accepted. If you have an extenuating circumstance, please reach out to  meeting@apsanet.org  about alternative payment arrangements. All attendees are required to wear badges in all APSA meeting spaces. Registration check-in times have been historically busier on Thursday morning and afternoon. 



Bring your QR code on your device and scan it for a no-touch experience. You will receive an email with a barcode for self-registration to print your badge at registration later this week from Expo Logic. Print this out or save the email on your phone.


Please read the Travel to Canada resource page for specific instructions for U.S. citizens traveling to Canada, as well as non-U.S. citizens. Below are some general information and guidance about steps you may want to take.


  • Know what to expect beforehand by reviewing the travel laws both in Canada and of the country you are traveling from and/or returning to

  • Have the physical version of all required travel documents as well as multiple printed copies on hand
