Pronouns are important. Please have the correct pronouns for anyone you are registering as this information will be printed on individual name badges.

Attendees’ dietary restrictions
All Wi2023 breakfast and lunches will be vegetarian (might include eggs, honey, and dairy) as part of ABA's commitment to lessening our carbon footprint. If your diet requires a vegan selection or an animal protein selection, please indicate that on the form.

Paz Bookstore Training Workshop Registration
There will be a separate registration form for the Paz Bookstore Training Workshop. Booksellers can choose to register for both Winter Institute and the Paz Bookstore Training Workshop or just one. Registration for the Paz Bookstore Training Workshop opens on September 14 along with Winter Institute registration.

In-person attendance is limited to individuals who are fully vaccinated, including children. (This means that, unfortunately, unvaccinated children will not be permitted to accompany attendees at any events.) ABA’s partner, HealthShield, will verify vaccination status via your mobile phone. (Those whose names don't match their vaccination cards, or who do not have a mobile phone, may contact ABA's DEIA Member Relations Manager Elisa Thomas at [email protected] to clear their vaccination.) This policy is subject to change should the CDC recommendations and/or guidelines change prior to the event. ABA's vaccination requirement is part of our commitment to making our events as safe as possible in this new COVID-19 era. We offer a virtual event following each in-person event to make programming accessible to those who can't attend.

ABA is committed to making our event as accessible as possible. We provide accessible priority seating at the front of the rooms; quiet rooms; gender neutral restrooms; ADA accessible restrooms; a lactation room; the name of local wheelchair and scooter companies; ADA accessible rooms in our hotel block; and a Rep Picks space and handouts for those with hearing, sensory, and/or processing needs.

If you would like Elisa, ABA's DEIA Member Relations Manager, to contact you about ways that this event could be more accessible and inclusive, or if you have accessibility questions, please email [email protected].

If you have any questions about Winter Institute registration, please email  [email protected].

We look forward to seeing you in Seattle!
