5 Tips for Attending an aasp Summit

1. Plan which sessions you want to attend in advance

Check out the schedule on the website or download the app and make a note of which sessions or presenters you especially want to see.

2.  Wear comfortable shoes

You might find that you do a surprising amount of walking at an aasp Summit. Between getting from your hotel to the conference venue, walking between sessions, and going out in the evening for dinner or social events, you may well be on your feet all day. So make sure you wear shoes that are comfortable and won't cause you pain.

3. Dress in layers

Business casual is appropriate for all aasp presentations and any related events. We do recommend that you dress in layers as session rooms can vary in temperature. 

4. Do attend the social events

Social events, such as receptions or social events are an important part of the Summit experience as they give you a chance to talk with the other attendees and exhibitors in a more informal setting. So do make an effort to attend at least some of the social events as well as education sessions.

5. Stay in touch

As we all know, conferences are a great way to connect with our counterparts at other institutions or friends we haven't seen in a long time, but don't let that contact end at Summit. We encourage you to stay in touch, share ideas, and compare challenges to get the most out of the 2025 Summit. Share your experience online and use #aasp2025 when posting.


Visiting Reno

In early September, Reno, NV has average daily temperatures ranging from a high of around 80°F (27°C) to a low of about 51°F (11°C), making the weather pleasantly warm. Consider packing layers to adapt to the changing temps.

It’s time to let loose and bet on yourself for a change. And, in Reno, the odds are stacked in your favor. This is where you can push those boundaries, try something new and make memories to last a lifetime!
