Event FAQs

I attended an ASNT event. How do I claim contact hours for recertification?

The process will vary from based on the event.  For conference technical sessions, an email will be sent after the event with instructions. Webinars and short courses are entered by staff based on attendance. 

I registered for an event and can no longer attend.  What are my options?

The cancellation policy will vary by event. Typically, a registered attendee may cancel at any time, up to 30 days prior to the event, and incur, at most, a $100 cancellation fee.  A registration may be transferred to another person, at any time, with no cancellation fee.

I am travelling to an event in the Unites States from another country. What do I need to know?

Generally, a citizen of a foreign country who wishes to enter the United States must first obtain a visa. Visitor visas are nonimmigrant visas for persons who want to enter the United States temporarily for business (visa category B-1), tourism, pleasure or visiting (visa category B-2), or a combination of both purposes (B-1/B-2).

Attending a scientific, educational, professional, or business convention or conference falls under the category of B-1.

There are several steps to apply for a visa. We encourage you to begin that process. Please visit U.S. Department of State — Bureau of Consular Affairs to learn more about applying for a visa.
