ACM partially underwrites registration fees for InterActivity. This support helps offset meeting expenses for you and allows us to keep costs as accessible as possible for attendees. We appreciate your participation and look forward to seeing you in San Diego!

Full-time students in a degree-granting undergraduate or graduate program qualify for a 50% discount off the registration category they would otherwise fall into (member, nonmember, etc…). Students must fax (703.224.3099) or email (Registration@ChildrensMuseums.org) an official copy of their current course registration and their student id. ACM staff will then provide a discount code for registration. Student rates are not eligible for First-In-Line Discounts.
ACM member institutions registering five or more individuals (full-time and part-time staff members, interns, volunteers, board, and trustee members) at the Early Bird, Regular, or Late rates for the full conference will receive a rebate totaling five percent of the institution’s InterActivity registration total. An institution is not required to register its entire group at one time. Additional museum-sponsored individuals that register onsite will count towards the Take 5! Rebate. Individuals who register at the First-in-Line Rate do not qualify for Take 5 and their registration will not count towards the five registrations for Take 5 Rebate. Surcharges, membership dues, pre-conference fees, and ticketed events are not included in calculating the total rebate. ACM’s InterActivity cancellation policy will apply to all Take 5! registrations. A canceled registration that causes an institution to send fewer than five individuals to the full InterActivity conference will void the Take 5! Rebate. The rebate will be issued to the member institution as a check and mailed by June 30, 2026.
Pre-registration is required for add-on offerings.
InterActivity Study Tours are popular among attendees and sell out quickly. More details will be available shortly.
