PAS does not pay speaker honorariums. However, we do offer the following speaker benefits for speakers in the following session types only: Scholarly Sessions (Basic-Translational-Clinical Roundtables, Debate/Pro-Con Discussions, Hot Topic/Topic Symposia, Panel Discussions, State of the Art Plenary), APPD/PAS Fellows Core Curriculum Series, PAS SIGs, and PAS pre-conference ticketed events.

Speakers in session types named above who provide an overview/presentation for 10 minutes or longer:

• Member Speaker: Association members are encouraged to participate actively in the development of their association’s scientific program at PAS. A member of APS, SPR, APA, AAP Fellow, ASPN, or PIDS who provides an overview/presentation for 10 minutes or longer receives:
  • Complimentary meeting registration

• Non-Member Speaker: Highly qualified speakers who are not yet association members may be invited by session organizers or chairs to participate in PAS. A speaker who was not a member of APS, SPR, APA, AAP Fellow, ASPN, PIDS as of September 1, 2020, and who provides an overview/presentation for 10 minutes or longer receives:
  • Complimentary meeting registration
• PAS Scholarly Session Program Chairs: Chairs are not eligible for complimentary meeting registration. Chairs who provide an overview/presentation longer than 10 minutes will be classified as both a chair and a speaker and therefore are eligible for the speaker support detailed above.
