Sessions

Select the sections you would like to attend.

After clicking “Next,” you will see the registration summary. If you are registering for a group and selected “No” in response to “Is this the last delegate to be registered for your group?” you may click on “Add Attendee” and continue to register delegates, alternates and/or affiliate guests until you have completed the entries.

If you have entered the information for your last allotted delegate, alternate and affiliate guest, you should select “Yes,” and then click “Finished Adding Attendees.” This will notify us that registration for your group is complete (you have reached your max or have entered all you wish to attend).

Once you have finished entering your attendees and finalized your registration, you can view the information entered for each attendee by selecting the name from the drop-down menu on the yellow bar at the top of the screen.

Once you have entered your final delegate(s) and alternate(s) and submitted the registration, a confirmation email that contains the certification form will be emailed to you. Should you choose to not send a delegate or alternate to the convention, please notify us.

The certification form must be signed by your organization’s president and secretary/secretary-treasurer and returned to us immediately via email (PDF) at [email protected] or by mail:

AFL-CIO
Attn: 2022 Convention Registration Team
815 Black Lives Matter Plaza NW, Washington, DC 20006

Selected delegates and alternates will not be admitted to the convention until signed certification forms have been received.

International/National Union Affiliates Only

As was strongly advised in the welcome letter, organizations with more than one delegate/alternate/affiliate guest should have one representative from the organization enter information for all members of the delegation.

PLEASE NOTE: THE PERSON REGISTERING THE GROUP MUST USE AN EMAIL ADDRESS THAT DIFFERS FROM THAT OF A DELEGATE, ALTERNATE AND AFFILIATE GUEST.

THE ADMINISTRATOR’S CONFIRMATION ALSO CAN SERVE AS THE CERTIFICATION FORM. National, International, State, Area and Local Central Bodies who register on their own (without an administrator) will receive a confirmation email that includes the appropriate downloadable certification forms.

The certification form must be signed by your organization’s president and secretary/secretary-treasurer and returned to us immediately via email (PDF) at [email protected] or by mail:

AFL-CIO
Attn: 2022 Convention Registration Team
815 Black Lives Matter Plaza NW, Washington, DC 20006

You will not receive a certification form in the mail until “Yes” is selected for this question (last delegate and last alternate). If you mistakenly proceed without selecting “Yes,” please send an email to [email protected] or call the Convention Registration Hotline at 202-974-8225 to notify us that you have completed your registration.

Selected delegates and alternates will not be admitted to the convention until a signed certification form is received.
