Hi Jordan, Yes, this is correct, guests cannot attend educational sessions. The Guest badge is a limited badge type designed for access to the Expo Hall and Keynote sessions only and is priced accordingly. To attend educational sessions, individuals would need to purchase a nonmember full conference badge.

Hi! It is my first time attending the conference; I am excited for the opportunity to connect and meet other dietitians as well as learn! I have a family member I am hoping to bring who is not a dietitian but very interested to attend a few of the speakers. I read on the registration page that guests cannot attend educational sessions; am I reading this correctly that she would not be able to attend the speaking events? So they would really only be able to attend the Expo? Help me understand why. Thanks!
