IMPORTANT: Steps 1–5 must be completed by October 15th to earn ASHA CEUs. 

1. Register for the Symposium and pay for the ASHA CEU PAVA processing fee. 

a. Register for the Symposium and choose two tickets: Symposium Registration and ASHA CEUs (PAVA Processing Fee). The ASHA CEU ticket option will include the fifty-dollar ($50US) PAVA Processing Fee for ASHA CEUs. All ticket purchases include a payment processing fee and a platform use fee.

i. PAVA Member: Symposium ($375US) + CEU fee ($50US) + payment processing fees ($28.48US) = $453.48US ($347.41US early bird: by July 31; $506.52US late: September 15-October 4) 

ii. Non-member: Symposium ($450US) + CEU fee ($50US) + payment processing fees ($33.04US) = $533.04US ($426.97US early bird: by July 31; $586.11US late: September 15-October 4)

Non-member Symposium Registration includes a 1-year Associate membership in PAVA (value: $63US), October 1, 2024-September 30, 2025

iii. Student: Symposium ($125US) + CEU fee ($50US) + payment processing fees ($13.29US) = $188.29US (no early bird)

b. Accommodations and special requests can be made on the registration form or by emailing symposium@pavavocology.org. 

c. If you already registered for the Symposium and did not pay the ASHA CEU (PAVA Processing Fee), please add the $50US processing fee here.

e. Your information will only be submitted to ASHA if you have registered and paid the ASHA CEU PAVA Processing Fee and registered for the symposium. 

2. During Symposium registration, create a Whova account.

a. Download the Whova app:

Google Play Store

Apple App Store

b. Update your Whova profile.

Web App access

c. Attendance check-ins and magic numbers will be collected via the app in real time.

3. Attend the Symposium live in 2D or 3D October 4-6th, 2024 and use the Whova app to track your sessions.

a. Open the Whova app at the start of each session and ensure you are logged in. Check-in on the app to confirm you are in attendance at the start of the session. Note: Oral research sessions and MicroTalks/ToolTalks include multiple individual presentations in one session. For the poster session, check in when you arrive.

b. At the end of the session, enter the magic number in the poll when you are prompted by the room manager. You may also provide feedback for the presenter at this time. For poster sessions, collect magic numbers from each poster you visit and submit the numbers in the app.

c. On-time check-in and submission of an accurate magic number are required to earn credit for the session.

4. Submit a Program Evaluation by October 15. 

a. Complete the Program Evaluation. Please use the email address you registered with. 

b. This form is for the continuing education course, and you may later be contacted for an additional evaluation for the Symposium Committee. 

5. Confirm your ASHA CEU hours and information on the ASHA CE Registry.

PAVA will submit a report of ASHA CEU hours earned by November 20th. It may take several days after that for the hours to post to your ASHA transcript. If your hours have not posted by November 30th, please email Louise Pinkerton at ceu@pavavocology.org.

Optional: If you want a certificate of completion, please download the Certificate (PDF download) and add your information.

How ASHA CEU hours are calculated

Partial credit for the symposium is available (i.e. you don’t have to attend every session). However, to receive credit for a session, you need to attend the full session. The grand total of minutes earned from fully attended education sessions are rounded down by the half hour. For the poster session, 15 minutes are earned per 3 posters visited up to the full session time.

Some sessions include multiple presentations, such as Oral Research Sessions and MicroTalks/ToolTalks, and need to be attended for the entire schedule time. Sessions will not be available for later viewing for ASHA CEUs. Credit will not be given for: concurrent sessions, Q & As, transition time, meetings and PAVA business, and sessions that are partially attended. If sessions are canceled or changed, the number of ASHA CEUs available will be updated.

Typical session times are listed below.

• Interactive Workshops – 40 minutes
• Keynote/Special Topics Plenary – 60-90 minutes
• Lunch & Learn – Various
• Micro-workshops and Tool Talks Session – 90 minutes
• Oral Research – 30-45 minutes, does not include Q & A
• PedTalks – 25 minutes
• Posters -105 possible, 3 posters =15 minutes

FYI: The time on the schedule may be longer to allow for transitions and credit is only given for the educational time. For example, interactive workshops are 40 minutes. The next session starts 55 minutes after a workshop starts, but the workshop only counts for 40 minutes because there is 15 minutes to change rooms.
