What is the difference between being “funded” and having my registration fee waived?

Yes, the student rate is $200. Student registrants must be unlicensed and currently enrolled in an entry-level PT or PTA program. If you are interested in receiving the student discount, please contact communications@fsbpt.org.
My jurisdiction cannot be funded by FSBPT to attend the Annual Education Meeting. How does my jurisdiction pay for my registration fee?
Email communications@fsbpt.org before you register. We will set it up so even funded individuals on your board will need to pay the member price.
What forms of payment are accepted for registration fees?
You can pay via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or Discover) at the end of your registration process.
When will I receive my registration packet?
You can pick up your registration packet at the registration desk beginning Thursday, October 19, 2023, at 9:00 a.m.
I have registered but I want to change my educational sessions. How do I adjust my registration?
- Log into the FSBPT Portal
- Select “events”
- Select the “Annual Education Meeting”
- Select “Manage Registration” in the top right
- To the right of your name, select the three dots
- Select “purchase new sessions” (you will not actually need to “purchase” anything)
- You will see your agenda and can adjust sessions accordingly
Will I receive a travel authorization?
If you are a “funded attendee”, you will receive a travel authorization via email with information to book your travel to the meeting. Funded attendees are required to use FSBPT’s travel agency to book flights. Email meetingplanner@fsbpt.org if there is a reason that you cannot use the travel agency. Failure to receive pre-approval to book your own flights could lead to FSBPT not reimbursing you for your airfare.
Other attendees are responsible for their own travel. You can expect to see your travel authorization via email in mid-August. If you have not seen it in your inbox by August 15, please check your spam folder before contacting us. If you don’t see it in your spam folder, please email us at communications@fsbpt.org.
More information for Funded Attendees
Please note, funded attendees are expected to attend the entire meeting.
How do I know my hotel reservation has been made by FSBPT?
After you book your travel with the travel agency, the travel agency will notify FSBPT staff. FSBPT staff will make your hotel reservations based on your travel itinerary. You will receive a confirmation email from the hotel a few days before the event.
Can I arrive earlier and/or later than listed on my travel authorization for personal reasons?
Yes, but please reach out to meetingplanner@fsbpt.org. You will pay for the associated costs.
What can I expect at hotel check-in?
You will be asked to provide a personal credit card and government-issued photo ID when you check in. You will not have a deposit charged to your personal credit card, but it will be used to cover possible incidentals. FSBPT will cover your room charge and taxes. You are responsible for additional charges or additional nights’ stay beyond the Annual Education Meeting dates. If you have questions about check-in times or procedures, please contact the hotel.
When will I receive my expense report form?
We will email you a copy, but you can also find a copy of the expense form in the Members Area of the FSBPT Portal under “Meetings.
