About Reception Prices

Why are receptions priced as they are? Firstly, we do not use trimmed down menus. We provide an open bar and hors d’oeuvres at receptions.

Secondly, the ticket prices reflect the cost of a hotel-catered event. Such events have a pricing structure (familiar to wedding planners) that is completely different from a restaurant or take-out food establishment. For example, a typical Conference breakfast buffet catered by the hotel has a base cost between $45 and $55 USD. In cities like New York and San Francisco, this price may approach $70 USD! Shockingly, these prices do not include 24-26% service charges and 6-15% taxes. The service charges and taxes can add another $14-$25 USD to the base price. We only charge attendees the base cost of the meal. Bottom line: UAA subsidizes each event.

Reception events at the conference are prime opportunities to network with colleagues.

WITHDRAWAL & REFUND POLICIES

Registration & Ticket Refund Policy – Due to financial commitments (e.g., guarantees of a certain number of attendees, transportation contractual arrangements) that UAA must make in the weeks leading up to the conference, your fees are expended regardless of whether you attend or not. This is why we cannot refund your fees after a certain date.

    This is the last day to request a registration refund minus the applicable administrative processing fee (Administrative fee: $200 USD for non-students; $100 USD for students).

TICKET SALES POLICIES

March 10, 2025 – Last day of ticket sales
April 1, 2025 – Last day to request a ticket refund (minus a 20% administrative fee)

  • Reception tickets can only be purchased by a person who is registered for the conference.
  • UAA is required by caterers to “guarantee” a specific number of diners at least 14-21 days in advance of each reception. Once this number is fixed, UAA is financially obligated to pay for this guaranteed number regardless of how many people attend. To meet this requirement and provide an accurate guarantee, ticket sales and ticket refunds will end on April 1, 2025.
  • Some receptions may have space constraints. If the maximum capacity for these events is reached, ticket sales will close before March 10, 2025.
  • Due to local, county and state liquor laws, and liability insurance restrictions, children under the legal age for alcohol consumption are not allowed to attend UAA receptions.
  • Registration & Ticket Refund Policy – Due to financial commitments (e.g., guarantees of a certain number of attendees, transportation contractual arrangements) that UAA must make in the weeks leading up to the conference, your fees are expended regardless of whether you attend or not.
