Register Your Vaccine Status with SafeAccess Before Traveling to San Diego As part of the entry requirements for the 2022 AERA Annual Meeting, all attendees must be fully vaccinated (including booster if eligible) to attend in person. On April 1, AERA transitioned from CLEAR to SafeAccess as the vendor responsible for confirming the vaccination status of on-site attendees with U.S. vaccination cards and non-U.S. vaccination cards. On-site attendees who have not already registered with CLEAR need to register with SafeAccess before they arrive in San Diego. On-site attendees who have already registered with CLEAR do not need to take any further action. Read more

Check Out Online Platform and i-Presentation Resources AERA and Pathable, our vendor for the online platform and app, are pleased to provide several resource materials to help Annual Meeting attendees, including presenters, chairs, exhibitors, and others prepare to use the online platform. AERA has also posted videos from three training webinars for presenters who are using the AERA i-Presentation platform for their paper presentations.
Bring Your Masks and Headphones All place-based attendees are required to wear a mask indoors at all AERA sessions and events, except when eating or drinking. This policy will be enforced even if the city of San Diego does not have a masking mandate. Also, don’t forget your headphones or earbuds to join virtual sessions from San Diego. There will be ample connectivity and spaces available to set up your laptop or device as part of the meeting (no need to run back to your hotel room).
