SInce aasld has cancelled the-in-person component to the liver meeting, can I get a refund on flights?

AASLD is not liable for refunds on travel.  Attendees should check their individual airlines for specific cancellation / refund policies.  AASLD will not be responsible for any airline cancellation or change fees. 

How do I register my group? 

Group registrations can be completed online. Please note that a valid, unique email address for each person registered is required for Certificate of Attendance and CME. The email address of the group leader/organizer or sponsoring/organizing company will not be accepted. 

The Group Leader can create a group record through the AASLD registration system beginning August 25, 2021. Group Leaders can then register the individuals who are part of their group, make changes to existing group records, and apply payments to registrations. By submitting this information on behalf of individuals, Group Leaders represent that they have authorization to do so by each individual. 

The information required for each attendee includes: 

• First and Last Name 
• Company 
• Mailing Address 
• City/Country/Postal Code (ZIP Code) 
• Phone 
• Email Address (very important – must be valid, unique work or personal email account for each person registered) 
• Type of attendee (doctor, administrator, nurse, etc.) 
• AASLD Membership Number (if members of AASLD) 

IMPORTANT ATTENTION – NEW FOR THIS YEAR 

As part of AASLD's conference registration process, all registrants are required to answer a series of registration questions individually. The questions include the Networking and Exhibitor/Supporter opt-in/out; as well as Code of Conduct, Terms and Conditions, Disclaimer, Limitation of Liability, and the Data Privacy and Protection Policy. All registrants will receive a notification by email linking them to the mandatory questions on the Registration Resource Center after the group order is completed and payment has been made. Each link is unique to the individuals' email address. Participation in The Liver Meeting® WILL NOT be confirmed until each individual answers the questions. Upon electronically reading and responding to all questions, a registration confirmation will be provided which will include logon credentials for TLMdX® and information about participating in-person (if applicable). Please communicate this important message with your group.

How is the contact information for my group registrants used? 

Attendees participating in The Liver Meeting® will be offered several products which require a unique email address for each user for access. These products include CME, Certificates of Attendance, online evaluation, and online access to recorded sessions of the meeting via LiverLearning®.  

Additionally, each registrant’s badge number is encoded with the contact information provided at the time of registration. As attendees visit the exhibit hall (the virtual exhibit hall and the physical exhibit hall in Anaheim), they may request information from exhibitors. Exhibitors and supporters will be provided with registrant contact information, including first name, last name, email address, organization, mailing address, and country for the purposes of promotional mailing lists and sales leads for supporters, exhibitors, satellite symposia, and product theaters. All registrants will have the option to opt-in or opt-out of sharing this information with exhibitors and supporters as a part of the registration process.
