AIEA will accept proof of vaccination for Covid-19 from any of the seven vaccines approved by the WHO: Moderna, Pfizer/BioNTech, Janssen (Johnson & Johnson), Oxford/AstraZeneca, Serum Institute of India, Sinopharm, or Sinovac.  If you are vaccinated, you will be asked to upload proof of your vaccination as a .pdf or image file on the first page of the registration form. 

*You must upload proof of vaccination before you will be able to complete registration. 

Note: At the conference registration desk in New Orleans, attendees will need to sign a form stating that they are symptom-free before they can complete the onsite conference registration check-in procedures.

AIEA Participant Lists 

AIEA sends out lists of registered conference participants a week after each registration deadline to all registered attendees. As requested by past participants, these lists do not include contact information. All registrants who opt-in will receive a hard-copy participant directory on-site. It is against AIEA policy for any participant information to be used for mass unsolicited emails.  

AIEA Participant Scam Alert 

It has been brought to our attention that scam artists, fraudulent companies, and vendors not contracted by the conference have been targeting AIEA exhibitors and participants. Be careful of companies calling posing as vendors for the event. Some scams include housing, directory listings, and onsite services.

If you are contacted by any outside company you find suspicious or are unsure whether they are a legitimate authorized vendor for this event, please contact AIEA at [email protected] immediately, and if possible include any e-mail communication you received from this vendor.

 Eligibility for Member Rates

• Please note that in order to be eligible for member Conference Registration pricing, your membership application must be both received and processed by the deadline for that price category.* 
• Please allow up to 10 business days for AIEA to process your membership application after your payment has been received.
• AIEA highly recommends paying via credit card during conference season to facilitate faster processing and increasing the chances of receiving registration discounts. 
• Payments via check or wire transfer may delay membership processing considerably, as AIEA can take up to 10 business days from receipt of payment to process memberships.*
• Delegations of five or more participants from outside the U.S. may be eligible to register for the conference at the member rate. For more information: AIEA Conference Delegation

Note: Member conference registrations will be checked with current AIEA Member lists and discrepancies will be billed accordingly.

 *Processing times may be longer than usual due to COVID.
