This year will mark the 40th Annual Conference for the Texas Association for Behavior Analysis! We are working behind the scenes to plan for this exciting anniversary conference. Thank you to those who participated in the social and networking survey and provided general conference feedback. Want to stay informed? Check that your email address is up to date in your TxABA account and follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
TxABA is partnering with Behavior Live again this year to provide attendees with in-person, live-stream, and asynchronous conference presentation options (all included in 2025 Conference Registration). The asynchronous presentations will be available to conference attendees for about 3 months after the conference on Behavior Live (please note that the asynchronous presentations will only be available to individuals who have purchased conference registration before the end of the conference - April 27th).
The hotel room block should open in October, check back for updates and follow us on Facebook & Instagram for notifications.
The conference starts with the Welcome Event from 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm on Thursday, April 24, 2025. The Exhibitor Booths will be open with appetizers and a cash bar. Conference badge pick-up and conference registration will be open during this time. We recommend making plans to attend Thursday night to pick up your conference badge to avoid the Friday morning rush.
TxABA offers pre-conference workshops on Thursday April 24th during the day. Pre-conference workshops are a separate registration from the annual conference registration and seating is limited. Pre-Conference Workshops are in-person only this year and will NOT be offered for live stream or asynchronous. If you are interested in presenting a workshop at the 2025 Annual Conference, please see above for submission information. Submissions are due by Oct. 9, 2024.
If you are planning to attend the annual conference via live-stream and/or catch the presentations asynchronously, please log into Behavior Live (BL) website or app with the same email address as your TxABA account that you used to purchased registration. BL will send out access instructions a few days before the conference.
If you are planning to attend the annual conference in-person, please have a photo id and the email address associated with your TxABA account ready when you pick up your badge. If you have already registered then proceed directly to badge pickup. If you need to register or pay with check then please proceed to registration.
We recommend that attendees download the Behavior Live app prior to the conference. Attendees will use the Behavior Live at the conference to scan in and out of presentations, with TxABA volunteers and staff in the presentation rooms to assist. Through the Behavior Live app attendees can view the schedule, read bios & abstracts, ask questions during presentations to be answered at the end, and share their information with exhibitors to make connections.
COVID-19 and Sick Policy
TxABA encourages all those who can to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and to follow CDC recommendations. TxABA encourages everyone to follow CDC guidelines on masking at the time of the conference. TxABA or the Royal Sonesta may require masking at the time of the event depending on CDC recommendations. We will notify those who have already registered for the conference and post on our website any changes.
The 2024 TxABA Conference is a hybrid event and if you are not comfortable attending in person then please join us via live stream. Conference registration includes in-person, live-stream, and asynchronous viewing after the conference. If you feel ill or have any symptoms, please select the live-stream option for attending. We encourage everyone attending in person to take a COVID test before attending the conference. We appreciate everyone's efforts to reduce the likelihood of unknowingly exposing fellow attendees to COVID-19 and other illnesses.

Group or 3rd Party Registration/Payment
If you are registering someone else for the conference then we recommend you use the group & 3rd party registration feature. This feature will allow you to print an invoice to submit to your company prior to payment.
If a different department in your company/district will be paying for registration then please confirm with them how they will pay before selecting "pay by check."We cannot change to a card payment once that has been selected and you may need to redo the entire group registration at the current price. Please reach out or ask the person who will be submitting payment to reach out to txaba@txaba.org if there are any concerns or if there were difficulties previous years.
If you have a vendor packet for a school district then please email the vendor packet to txaba@txaba.org. Please allow up to 7 business days for this to be completed, we are a small organization with part-time staff.

General Registration Information
Registration details coming soon. As presentations are available for 3 months asynchronously after the conference, we recommend registering early to get the best price.
Registration for the 40th annual conference will be split into three periods: early registration, regular registration, and late registration. When you purchase conference registration there is a place to indicate your attendance preference of whether you plan to attend the conference in-person or online. For planning purposes, if you plan to attend any portion of the conference in person then please select in-person. This allows us to better plan for the conference and ensure that we do not sell out for in-person attendance.
Groups of 10 or more individuals will receive a group registration discount of $10 per person, this will automatically be applied to your invoice. To register a group, please use the group registration form. Before starting a group registration, check that everyone has a TxABA account. To get a member conference registration price on the group registration, the individual must be a current member or you need to select to purchase their membership on the group registration form. To receive the RBT and student discounts, the individual needs to have this setup in their accounts before they are added to the group registration. You may purchase registrations, memberships, and CEUs for the individuals on your group registration. For group registrations, you do not need to indicate if each individual is planning to attend in person or online.
