To register for the AWA Annual Conference you do not need to be a member of AWA.
Prior to registering, however, you should review the schedule and optional events for which you can register. These options are shown in the schedule and are listed on the registration card and on-line form below.
Hotel Room Reservations
You are responsible for your own lodging arrangements. If you wish to stay at the RIT Inn and Conference center: Call the RIT Inn and Conference Center 5257 West Henrietta Road, Henrietta, NY 14467 directly at (585) 359-1800 to reserve your lodging. Do not use the 800 number. Always insist on a documented receipt from RIT ICC of their room registration. Lodging registrants must insist on an e-Mail copy or snail mailed copy for their records, so you have documentation of the room registration to show as proof if there is an issue. The RIT Inn and Conference Center rate for AWA is $119 per night standard room and $179 premium room rates. You must ask to receive these rates. There is ample lodging in the area at other establishments which you can research if you prefer another lodging location; all transportation to or from any of the events is the conference attendee’s responsibility.

On-Line Registration will close on Sunday, September 27th, with meals needing to be purchased 7 days prior to their date of service. (For example, to order a meal to be served at the Friday, October 2nd Annual Banquet, you must have requested that meal on or before 6 PM, Friday, September 25, 2026.)
Be sure to read the instructions for use. The form below accepts your selections by checking the check boxes to the right of each option and them sends these selections to the On-Line Store for finalization with contact information and payment.

- As in past years, AWA Conference Registration includes the registrant and a spouse or significant other in one fee. Also, registration before a date (for 2026 that date is September 10th) the cost is reduced from $75 to $70 (that is because registering before that date greatly simplifies planning and allows or lower “at risk” cost commitments).
- Like recent past years, the cost for attending the Conference Banquet Friday evening will be free (it is being underwritten by a sponsor to increase attendance at the Banquet). Note, however, that a meal selection is required (Beef, Salmon or Pasta). If you make the selection, the sponsor will have to pay, so please be sure to attend if you select meals for that evening.
- Due to the fact that a number of attendees in the past have required badges to be reprinted, a notification e-mail of registration will be sent to all registrants when payment is made. However, badges will be available for pickup at the Registration Desk starting at noon on Tuesday, September 29th. (When you register on-line a receipt with your options will be your acknowledgement and receipt via e-mail from the website.)
