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 to Sarah Rowland, srowland@myAST.org. You will be required to pay the appropriate guest registration fee of $325 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.
