Conference App2021-10-28T11:22:41-04:00

How do I download the conference app? The app can be downloaded by searching “APTA Meetings” in your device’s app store. It can also be downloaded by scanning the QR code found on signs throughout the venues.

I can’t get the Conference App to work, can you help? All staff should be familiar with the app and be able to assist members, however in a case where you are not able to, please have them visit the APTA Information Desk in Lobby C of the convention center, right by registration.

Is there free WiFi at the Hyatt? Yes, free Wi-Fi is available in common areas, however not in meeting rooms.

Is there free WiFi at the Convention Center? Yes, free Wi-Fi is available in the common areas and lobbies of the convention center. Choose the network named “OCCC Free Wifi”. Free Wi-Fi is not available in meeting rooms, though individuals may purchase it for personal use for $12.95/day.

Why isn’t there free WiFi in meeting rooms? Providing Wi-Fi in the meeting rooms proved cost prohibitive. By not having this expense, we were able to keep registration at the same rate as in 2019.

Mask Requirement2021-10-28T11:24:45-04:00

When do I have to wear a mask? Masks must be worn while indoors at APTA events when not eating or drinking. Speakers may remove their masks while speaking but will be required to remain at least 6’ from the audience and put the mask back on upon leaving the podium.

Why do I have to wear a mask if I have a negative test result? The CDC recommends all individuals over 2 years of age wear a mask indoors in public to “maximize protection from the Delta variant and prevent possibly spreading it to others.” We are following this guideline strictly for the health and safety of our participants.

Note: APTA staff should not feel compelled to enforce the mask requirement in a confrontational situation. If necessary, security staff will be available to assist.
