Tips to Help You Navigate the Registration Process

Registering for the conference will only take a few minutes. But you will find you have some options to consider along the way. Here’s some tips to help you prepare for the process.

The CSIA Conference is a members only event. That means you will want to make sure that your company has joined or renewed its membership for 2025.

If you don’t know if your company is a CSIA member, you can log into your CSIA portal and check the membership status.

You can also look for your company on the CSIA Member List on the CSIA Industrial Automation Exchange.

Or, if you prefer, you can contact staff.

*If your company is not  a member and has never attended the conference, you may attend one time as a non member.

When you start a new registration, you will encounter a list of options — read through each carefully.

The options are:

  • Member: Choose this option if you are a CSIA Member and want to register for the conference — you can add optional events such as a workshop, Fun Run or Tour — in this workflow.
  • Non-Member: Choose this option if you are not a CSIA Member and this is the first time your company is attending the conference. You will be able to add any optional events, such as a workshop, Fun Run, or Tour, in this workflow.
  • Spouse/Guest: Choose this option if you’d like to register for a guest/spouse — this option includes the main social events only: Welcome Reception, Industry Expo and Reception, Awards Reception and Dinner.
  • Best Practices Workshop Only: Choose this option if you want to attend the two-day Best Practices Workshop but not the full conference. *
  • Business Risk Workshop Only: Choose this option if you want to attend the one-day Business Risk Workshop but not the full conference. *
  • Marketing Workshop Only: Choose this option if you want to attend the one-day Marketing Workshop but not the full conference. *

*Your workshop registration includes access to the Emerging Leaders and Welcome Receptions on June 3 complimentary.

While the Awards Reception and Dinner are included in your conference registration, you will need to RSVP during the registration process. You will not be allowed into the Awards Dinner without a ticket — so be sure to RSVP. This helps CSIA have an accurate count to ensure all guests are accommodated while minimizing food waste.

The Friday Keynote also requires an RSVP so hotel staff can set the room accordingly.

Make the most of your week by adding a workshop, Fun Run/Walk or tour. While these optional events do require an additional fee, you’ll be taking advantage of everything the week has to offer!

There is so much to learn throughout the week, it’s almost impossible for one person to take it all in. Why not bring your team or invite your colleagues to make sure your company capture it all!

While CSIA does not anticipate any challenges to the ability to deliver the 2025 CSIA Conference, the board decided to simplify the administrative process in the event the CSIA determines that the event must be cancelled for any reason, including those beyond its control.

When you register for the conference, you will be asked to indicate your preference for how CSIA handles the disposition of your registration fee(s) by applying the fees to either the 2026 membership renewals or 2026 CSIA Conference or a refund.

Note: The potential applications of fees to membership renewal or a future conference are only available if CSIA determines that the 2025 event must be canceled and are not applicable if canceled by the registrant(s).
