Day Rate

Non-travel Grant Recipients ONLY
This option is only available to meeting attendees who do not receive a travel grant and who do not wish to stay at the Hilton DFW Lakes Conference Center. These attendees must indicate prior to the meeting that they are attending the Fellows Symposium as a daily guest and pay the conference center facility fee of $325. This fee includes meals over the course of the meeting. The package fee will be charged to daily guests prior to the meeting.

Guests/Family Members

The conference center provides a private, conference environment designed to promote interaction between attendees and faculty during sessions as well as meal and activity times. The nature of the program does not cater to families or guests and AST does not recommend bringing family members or guests to the Fellows Symposium. However, if you must bring family members or guests to the meeting, please indicate prior to the meeting the number of guests you are bringing and pay the appropriate guest registration fee of $225 per person. Guests are only permitted entry to group meal functions and activities but are not allowed access to educational sessions. This guest policy will be strictly enforced on-site: a guest name badge will be required to enter all group meal functions. Guests who do not have a name badge and attend a meal function will be required to pay the guest registration fee onsite.
