All Gender Restrooms
Locations: There are three designated All-Gender Restrooms in the meeting space. Two are located in the Plaza Building, Concourse Level – one near Governor's Square and one near Plaza Court 1. The third is in the Tower building, 2nd level, in the Grand Ballroom Foyer. These are marked with signage inside and outside the restroom. See “Maps”.
Everyone has the right to use a restroom safely and without stress.
An all gender designation means that this restroom is a welcoming place for all people. Transgender, gender non-conforming, and genderqueer people, as well as all others, are accepted in this space. If you choose to use this restroom, you agree to maintain a protective and welcoming environment by refraining from gender policing (i.e., scrutinizing, judging, or categorizing another person’s gender). If you prefer to use a gendered restroom, those restrooms are also available and are indicated on the map.
If you have questions about all gender restrooms, please contact members of the ACHA LGBTQ+ Health Coalition (See the ACHA website for information).
About Your Badge
You are required to wear your name badge to gain admission to all annual meeting events, including the Exhibit Hall and Opening Reception. If you don’t have your name badge, you may not be granted entry to conference events. But in addition to gaining you access to meeting sessions and events, your name badge contains several important pieces of information.
Pre-Conference Workshops
If you purchased pre-conference workshop tickets in advance, the workshop code and a 1-2 word abbreviation of the title of the workshop will be printed on your name badge. This is your “ticket” into the workshop. Simply show your name badge to the door monitor as you enter the room.
Badge/Confirmation ID
Your badge/confirmation ID is the 4-digit number on your badge under the QR Code. You may need this code to verify access to Attendee Networking in the app. You will need this code to submit entries during the Exhibit Hall Challenge on Friday!
QR Code
As an ACHA registrant, your contact information is conveniently encoded into your badge. With your permission only, exhibitors may scan the QR code or manually input your confirmation ID number and they will be provided your name, degree, title, company, address, phone number, email address, and area of practice. You may decline having your badge scanned if you do not wish to share your information. Just like handing out your business card, when you provide your contact information to exhibitors you are granting them permission to communicate with you. You will be subject to their communications and privacy policies and must opt-out with them directly.
Internet Access
Guest Room Internet Access
There is complimentary basic internet access for you in guest rooms at the Sheraton, Sonesta, and Hyatt Place hotels. Specific instructions will be available in your hotel room or through the front desk.
