Use these resources to convey the professional and financial return on investment and start planning your conference experience today!
Plan Early
- Register for the conference by March 31 to take advantage of early bird rates.
- Book your flights as soon as possible to secure lower airline fares.
- Keep in mind that AHA members receive discounted registration rates.
Determine Expenses and Benefits
- Conference expenses are influenced by a number of factors. Before you can begin to justify the expenses, you'll need to calculate what they will be. Use the expense worksheet to develop a cost estimate.
- It's also important to show your supervisor why your attendance will benefit not just you, but your entire team. For example, in the benefits worksheet, emphasize that you will learn new skills, network with leaders in the field and identify opportunities for advancement. Cite specific sessions you plan to attend that have relevance to your organization's work. Highlight speakers, exhibitors and other potential partners in attendance who can help advance your organization's objectives.
- Emphasize that the Accelerating Health Equity Conference is growing on an annual basis and that this year's registration fee includes an additional day of programming and meals.
Communicate with Your Employer
- Customize and send a justification letter to your employer explaining all the benefits you'll receive from attending the Accelerating Health Equity Conference, and how these benefits will improve your professional capacities and help advance your organization.
- Be ready with a plan that identifies who will handle your responsibilities while you are attending the conference. Ensure your employer knows that you will still be accessible during your time away from the office.
- Offer to deliver a short presentation or written report for your colleagues to share what you've learned and multiply the benefits of attendance.
Substitutions, Cancellations and Refunds

In the event that the conference and/or its related events is cancelled due to low enrollment, public health concerns, natural disasters or unforeseen weather conditions, commercial or financial circumstances, or any other foreseen or unforeseen event, the Accelerating Health Equity Conference will provide a refund for registration costs but is not responsible for non-refundable items, such as airfare and hotel costs.
