Cancellation Policy Surrounding COVID-19

At the present time, we plan to proceed with the AAPA 2021 in-person conference.

Please be assured that our utmost concern is the health and safety of our attendees and their patients, as well as exhibitors and staff. AAPA is closely monitoring the situation with COVID-19 (coronavirus). As you know, many large meetings have transitioned to fully virtual courses, but we feel it would be premature for us to do so at this time. Information about coronavirus for travelers and tips for prevention are available on the CDC’s website. AAPA is committed to sharing information as soon as it becomes available. We thank everyone for their patience and understanding as we adapt to the unpredictable nature of COVID-19 and its potential impact on AAPA 2021. Please direct any questions to [email protected].

  • If AAPA cancels the in-person AAPA 2021 conference in Philadelphia, all registrants’ registration fees will be transferred to the fully virtual conference.
  • If a registrant can no longer attend the in-person conference due to state and/or institutional travel bans, he/she can transfer his/her registration fees to the virtual conference without penalty.
  • If a registrant can no longer attend the in-person conference due to personally testing positive for COVID-19, he/she can transfer his/her registration fees to the virtual conference without penalty.
