COVID-19 MASKS & VACCINATIONS
In order to help manage risk, you will be asked during the registration process whether you will be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by the time the conference begins on October 15. 

Conference events will be held in accordance with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local government. We highly encourage attendees to be fully vaccinated prior to attending the conference. 

Additionally:

• To attend any of our conference events, you will need to show proof that you are fully vaccinated or to show results of a negative COVID-19 test within the previous 72 hours.
• You will need to wear a mask at all times except when actively eating or drinking.
• You will not attend events if you exhibit any of the COVID-19 symptoms or do not feel well.
• If you receive a positive COVID-19 test soon after attending our conference, you will let us know and cooperate with a contact tracing process.
• By attending any of our conference events, you are agreeing to these requirements.

Additional details will be sent to registrants.

WILD & CRAZY RATE
All APTA members (not just WA chapter members) who submit their registrations by August 31 (no exceptions) will receive this discount off the Early Bird rate. This discount also applies to WSPTMA members and administrative staff working in APTA WA member clinics. See rate chart on registration order form for prices.

MEMBER RATES
You must be a member in good standing as of the date of the conference to be eligible for all member rates. Registrants who have a membership expiration date prior to the conference must provide proof of membership before the end of the conference or they will be subject to paying the non-member rate. New APTA members who do not yet have a member number must submit a copy of their membership application confirmation to receive the member rate.

STUDENT MEMBER RATES
This rate applies to all students who are APTA-members and categorized as a student by APTA. You do not have to belong to the WA chapter to qualify for this rate; you may belong to any chapter of APTA.

SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS
All special dietary requests must be made at the time of registration. A special meal ticket will be provided with your registration packet and name tag on-site. Some meals may already meet your special dietary needs, so no ticket is necessary. We work directly with the facility’s food and beverage providers, however, we cannot guarantee that any area will be completely allergy free. If you have a severe allergy we would suggest you carry an EpiPen® or appropriate medication with you in case of emergency.

CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDIT
All courses are eligible for continuing education units (CEUs) and meet guidelines required by the Washington State Department of Health Board of Physical Therapy for licensure of physical therapists and physical therapist assistants. Continuing education courses offered by the APTA WA chapter are intended for health and other allied professionals and should not be taken if the course content is outside the learner’s legal scope of practice.

COURSE CANCELLATION
In the unlikely event that chapter must cancel a course, APTA Washington will provide credit to attend another course at the conference or a future APTA Washington conference. The chapter will not be responsible for additional costs (travel, etc.) incurred by registrants.
