You must be an NASTD member to attend an event. All deadlines are posted on the NASTD events page so you can plan accordingly. Please note that there are no late or on-site registrations or substitutions.
What can I expect from a regional seminar?

Are there exhibit opportunities at the regional seminars?
No. The regional seminars are education and networking based; they do not have an exhibit component.
What does my registration include?

Please note that some evening events like the Diamond Sponsor Reception and Exclusive Dinner are by invitation only.
How can I confirm I am registered?
It is the responsibility of the attendee to ensure they receive their registration confirmation to verify that their registration is finalized. If you do not receive a confirmation within 24 hours, please contact pjohnson@csg.org.
The attendee list is periodically published on the NASTD website behind login. If you are uncertain whether your registration is complete, please check this list on the website by the registration deadline. We do not accept late or onsite registrations, so please ensure your registration is complete by the deadline.
What are the cancellation policies?
Cancellation of registration must be submitted via e-mail and must be dated on or before May 16, 2025, to receive a refund less a $150 registration cancellation processing fee. After May 16, 2025, any payments made are not refundable for any reason, including, but not limited to, failure to use event registration due to illness or due to any event beyond the reasonable control of NASTD, such as an act of God, natural disaster, or travel-related complications.
Can I register for just one day?
One-day registration options are not available.
Can we make a substitution?
Substitutions may be made by May 23, 2025. After this date, no substitutions can be made. We do not accept substitutions on-site.
How many people will be at the seminar?
We expect anywhere between 200-250 attendees at our regional seminars. Roughly 30-50 state attendees representing 12-17 states are usually present.
Where can I access the state reports?
A PDF of the state reports are available on the NASTD website behind the member login. They are not available on the mobile app.
The hotel is sold out. What should I do?
Often the NASTD room block sells out in advance for the main event dates. If that is the case, you will need to find another hotel to stay at.
What is the dress code?
We want you to be comfortable so you can enjoy your meeting experience! Therefore, business casual dress is strongly encouraged. We suggest bringing a sweater or jacket with you during the day as the hotel ballrooms are air conditioned.
