General Information - Updated 10/23/2024

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 by the end of the year, check back for updates and follow us on Facebook & Instagram for notifications.

The annual conference offers over 55 hours of BACB CEUs available for purchase as a package for $75.00. Please double-check that you purchase the 2025 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) package on the Register webpage as there may be past years available for purchase.

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 or register to avoid the Friday morning rush.Friday morning from 8:15 am to 9:30 am is historically the longest line for conference check-in/registration.

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. Please click here to learn more about the pre-conference workshops.

Attending the Annual Conference

Live-Stream and/or Asynchronous Attendance

If you are planning to attend the annual conference via live-stream and/or catch the presentations asynchronously, please log into Behavior Live website or app with the same email address as your TxABA account that you used to purchased registration. Behavior Live will send out access instructions before the conference. We recommend logging into Behavior Live at least one week before the conference and taking 5-10 minutes to orient yourself. This will give you time before the conference to reach out to Behavior Live or TxABA if you are having difficulties.

In-Person Attendance

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 for the conference or turn in a check then please proceed to registration.

Behavior Live App

We recommend that attendees download the Behavior Live app at least a week before the conference and take 5-10 mins to orient yourself to the app. This will give you time to reach out to Behavior Live or TxABA if you are experiencing difficulties. Attendees will use the Behavior Live app 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, live-stream presentations, and share their information with exhibitors or other attendees 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 Hyatt Regency 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 includes in-person, live-stream, and 3 months of on-demand access to conference presentations on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (please note that there may be 1-2 out of over 45 presentations that are only offered in-person). We recommend registering early to get the best price & be prepared for the conference. Please check, and change if needed, the email address you have entered in your TxABA Account prior to purchasing registration to ensure that you have access to that email address and it is the email address you want to use for the conference (i.e., your registration in behavior live will be tied to the email address in your TxABA Account at the time of purchase).

Registration for the 40th annual conference is split into four periods: early registration, regular registration, late registration, and week of 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.

Please note for Student or RBT Member Conference Registration Prices to be visible on the purchasing page, you need to purchase or already have purchased your Student or RBT Membership.
