Conference FAQs

All participants are strongly encouraged to attend the entire conference. If you are a full fee waiver or a partial fee waiver designee for your school, travel departures prior to Saturday will not be approved. We appreciate your understanding and anticipated cooperation.

We recommend that you join the waitlist as soon as possible. As rooms become available at the conference hotel, we will work to accommodate those on the waitlist.

In addition to adding your name to the waitlist, you may also check for availability at alternative hotels nearby:

The LSAC Annual Meeting and Educational Conference is an event for the education and professional development of law school admission professionals. In order to foster exchange among attendees about professional issues and to be fair to all in attendance, the following guest attendance guidelines were approved by the Services and Programs Committee:

• Children and guests may not attend educational sessions (includes plenary, concurrent, and mini-sessions).
• Breakfasts and lunches are reserved for conference attendees only.
• A limited number of guest tickets for specific evening events will be sold in advance of the conference.

However, your guests are welcome to attend evening events with you. Guest dining tickets will be available for order in advance. No guest dining tickets will be sold on-site. Each guest must present an LSAC-issued badge to enter our event area. Attendee name badges cannot be shared with guests. Guests in attendance without LSAC-issued badges will be asked to leave the event area. LSAC reserves the right to invoice the attendee if a guest obtains a meal that has not been paid for.

Be sure to purchase guest dining tickets by Friday, May 17. Payment must be submitted at the time of purchase. LSAC cannot process any guest dining tickets without full payment.
