ARTventure tours are special off-site, educational opportunities for convention attendees. Participation in these tours is limited. Advance sign up and a separate $25 registration fee is required for each participant. Please indicate your ARTventure tour choices on your registration form. Convention guests are welcome to participate in ARTventure tours on a space available basis.
All requests for refunds (including event guest tickets) must be made in writing to Americans for the Arts c/o Meetings and Events. Full refunds, minus a $50.00 administrative fee, will be issued to requests received by May 4, 2009. Refund requests received after this deadline will not be considered.
All attendees will receive confirmation of registration via e-mail. Confirmation notices will include receipt, list all special activities, and badge text approval. Please review confirmation notices carefully. If you have not received a confirmation notice within three weeks of submitting your registration, or if you wish to change your registration information, please contact us by e-mail at events@artsusa.org.
Most Council and Partner meetings will take place on Wednesday, June 17. Participation in council and partner meetings is by invitation only and may require separate fee.
Registration for those exhibiting at the Convention is done through a separate form. Once you have completed the exhibitor application, you will be provided with a registration form. If you’re interested in exhibiting, please contact us by e-mail at events@artsusa.org.
Guests are welcome to attend luncheons and special events. Be sure to register guests in advance so that we may accommodate them. Guests are required to wear name badges when participating in conference activities. Tickets are required for luncheons, evening events, and tours. Guests will be able to purchase tickets onsite, space permitting. Attendees without badges and guests without tickets will not be permitted to attend events.

Have Questions?
Please contact us by e-mail at events@artsusa.org or call 202.371.2830 (or toll free at 866.471.ARTS). Registrations submitted without payment will not be processed.
Interested in sharing a room with another conference attendee to help reduce the cost of attending the convention? Check the Roommate Referral Box on the registration form and we’ll send you a list of other interested attendees. To be eligible for the program, registration must be received no later than April 13, 2009. Hotel rooms fill fast so we suggest that all attendees make housing arrangements when they register and once a roommate is identified, cancel the reservation that is no longer needed. If you have questions about this program please contact us by e-mail at events@artsusa.org.
