One Day at the ASHA Convention
The ASHA Convention runs 19-21 November 2026 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. The venue publishes a forecast attendance of 13,500.
ASHA describes the meeting as bringing together approximately 13,000 attendees, with more than 2,500 sessions and an exhibit hall carrying nearly 400 exhibitors.
Which Single Day You Buy
ASHA sells a one-day registration beside the full convention rate. You pick Thursday, Friday or Saturday when you register. The one-day badge covers the in-person sessions on your day, the exhibit hall, the exhibitor showcases, the community service projects, the coffee breaks, and either the Opening General Session or the Awards Ceremony when one of the two falls on that day.
Continuing education credit follows the selected day. One-day registrants claim credit for in-person sessions held on that day, and the option carries no access to the on-demand or virtual programme.
One-day rates run from $169 to $509. The ASHA-certified assistant rate is $169, the graduate student rate is $185, and the new professional, clinical fellow and non-ASHA certified assistant rate is $219. The member and international affiliate rate is $319, and the related professional and non-member rate is $509.
The full convention ladder moves by window. A member pays $419 in early bird from 3 to 31 August, $469 in advance from 1 to 30 September, $519 in regular from 1 to 31 October and $569 onsite from 1 to 21 November. Registration opened on 3 August. A guest registration costs $85.
The $100 Exhibit Hall Pass
ASHA sells an exhibit hall-only pass for members and related professionals. The pass covers one day and costs $100. It goes on sale online from 1 November, and it is available onsite.
Badges Print at the Center
Badges for the 2026 convention print onsite at self-service stations. The attendance record is verified automatically, and ASHA states that the event requires no further badge scanning.
