Members must have paid 2022 dues to receive member pricing. Non-member full conference registrations include a complimentary pro-rated UCA membership that will remain active until December 31, 2022. Discounted non-member registrations that include, but are not limited to, Discounted Author Rates and Complimentary Sponsor Registrations do not include complimentary memberships.
Student registration for the NAT 2022 must meet eligibility requirements. SME requires that an individual must be attending a college/university/ higher education institute on a full-time basis to qualify for student registration rates. Student registrants may be required to provide evidence that you are a full-time student. Students enrolled in 12 or more semester credit hours are considered full-time. Acceptable confirmation includes: transcript, most recent report card, or official school registration documents. Student registrations without this documentation upon request will not be eligible for the reduced student rate.
This reduced rate is intended for those traveling with registered conference attendees and who are not involved in tunneling in any aspect. This registration includes admission to the Monday’s hosted Exhibit Hall Reception and Tuesday's Luncheon in the Exhibit Hall only. This registration does not include access to technical sessions and does not include ticketed events – those must be purchased separately.
UCA reserves the right to cancel, without notice, a spouse/companion registration suspected to be for a professional and/or exhibitor.
All attendees, exhibitors and authors at NAT 2022 are required to register. Nonmember authors/chairs may register at the member rate using the discount code provided. The appropriate badge is required for admittance to the technical sessions and exhibit hall functions and will be checked at the entrance of all activities. Exhibits-only registrations are NOT permitted to attend the technical sessions. One-day or Exhibit Hall-only passes are not available.
