Please note:

If your organization is exhibiting and you will be working in the booth, be sure to select the appropriate option under "Exhibiting" in the registration form so you get the appropriate credentials when you pick up your badge onsite.
In 2022 and 2023, there were issues with the CITI card accepting the meeting’s vendor code for those registering using their GTCC. To avoid registration issues this year, please contact your credit card manager now to ensure that your card does not have a block on merchant codes classified as Business or Marketing Services before registration opens. The link for hotel reservations is sent only after the meeting registration fee is paid. Avoid delays in getting a hotel room by being proactive in addressing this matter as soon as possible.
If an individual is deemed ineligible for their selected rate, the category and fee will be adjusted. A badge will not be released without payment in full.
Government personnel using the Defense Travel System (DTS) should adjust their per diem in DTS for the meals provided.

Payment Tokens

If your organization requires registration fees to be paid through a Government Purchase Card (GPC), not a Government Travel Card (GTCC), and there are at least 5 individuals attending the 2024 MHSRS, we have created Payment Tokens to help make the registration process easier.

Payment tokens are created by the GPC cardholder when they submit a request online. The token is a unique code, similar to a promotional code, distributed by the GPC cardholder to individuals to register and pay on their own. If a token is not established, all individuals who plan to attend will have to register and pay on their own at the time of registration.

Please note: registration is a prerequisite for getting the hotel reservations link. Rooms at the conference headquarter hotel typically sell out on the first day. Therefore, groups should be prepared to register as soon as registration opens.

How does it work?

GPC cardholder establishes a payment token through the secure, online portal.
Registration instructions, attached to the payment token confirmation, are distributed by the GPC cardholder to those authorized to attend.
Individuals use the instructions to register and pay once registration opens.
Individuals then share their registration confirmation/invoice with the GPC cardholder for payment.
GPC cardholders pay securely online as the individual confirmations arrive or they can wait until all are registered and pay at one time with one total charge.
