Presentation Requirements

For each Technical Publication and Technical Presentation, a minimum of one author must have a paid registration at the Full Conference Author rate. Student rates do not apply.

One author registration fee can cover up to a maximum of two (2) technical papers or presentation only submissions plus two (2) additional poster presentations.

An author registering at the author rate with more than two (2) technical papers or presentation only submissions to present at the podium, must request a co-author to register.

For poster presentations, where all authors are students, the presenting author can register at the appropriate student rate by the Advanced Registration deadline.
Student registration rates are only available to undergraduate and graduate students who are enrolled full time and have not yet received their Ph.D. Post-docs may not register as students. Proof of student status is required to confirm the student rate. Proof consists of a copy of the student's identification card or a letter from the institution's registrar verifying student status.

Attendees who pay the Non-Member registration rate will be offered a one-time complimentary 4-month ASME trial membership following the conference.

The ASME Presenter Attendance Policy is such that if a paper is not presented at the conference by an author / co-author of the paper, it will not be published in the official archival proceedings, which are registered with the Library of Congress and abstracted and indexed.

For conferences, video and/or zoom presentations are not a substitute for in-person presentations.

ASME in-person activities will follow the state and local laws, regulations and guidelines regarding COVID-19 applicable to the location of the event. These mandates are subject to change and should be continuously monitored.
