Fees
The registration fees are broken down into two components – the Congress fee and the Association conference fees. For more information about this structure, consult About the fees.
Congress fees
The Congress fee is mandatory for all attendees including organizers, speakers, presenters, panelists and those chairing or attending a session.
Congress fee prior to March 31 | Congress fee as of April 1 | |
Regular | $175 | $210 |
Students, retired and unwaged | $65 | $85 |
Association conference fees
A bit about the “Rules” of registration for all attendees. These are enforced by Congress and not the CCHA however, the CCHA must set their own fee annually. If you click on the link for our association fees, (we are group #81 on the third page) our fees are in keeping with, in fact, lower than most associations.
The association conference fees are mandatory for all attendees participating at association sessions, including organizers, speakers, presenters, panelists and those chairing or attending a session. Association conference fees do not cover the association’s membership fees. For membership inquiries, please contact the association directly.

If you wish to ONLY attend those general events indicated in the online calendar of events and the Congress Guide as open to all registered Congress attendees, then the association conference fees do not apply. However you will not be entitled to participate in sessions that have access restricted to registered attendees of an association, which includes all association conferences.
