We have done our best to compile a list of the most frequently asked questions regarding the 2026 CTSS Conference. If you don't find what you are looking for here please reach out. conference@attachtrauma.org
Discount Hotel Block
FIFA has games scheduled at the same time we are in Dallas. This was not known when we contracted in 2019.
What this means is that Dallas will be full. We have been told that we cannot add any more rooms to our discount block. Expect that the rooms outside the block and rooms around the city are going to be very expensive.
PLAN AHEAD- When we sell out all of our rooms, we will not be able to guarantee lodging for attendees.
Attendee List Scam Alert
⚠️ IMPORTANT: ATTENDEE LIST SCAM ALERT
It has come to our attention that several unauthorized third parties are emailing our community claiming to sell our attendee list.
Please be advised:
We do not sell our attendee lists. ATN does not authorize any third party to sell or distribute contact data from our events.
Official Communication: Any official correspondence regarding the conference will only come from an @attachtrauma.org email address.

If your institution cannot prepay on a purchase order (have full payment made, with cash/check/card) prior to the Conference, please contact us and let us know that. We can then determine whether we can accept your purchase order.
If any portion of the Conference fills to capacity, preference will be given to fully paid Purchase Orders.

ATN's Communicable/Community Disease Response
At this time, there are no specific vaccination or masking requirements. Our previous In-Person conferences showed how cooperation, flexibility, and respect can lead to a safe atmosphere. ATN cannot guarantee any set policy at this time so please plan accordingly and be prepared for possible procedure announcements.
We continue to encourage all attendees to practice good health hygiene during the event, as well as to not attend if they are feeling ill or have tested positive for any communicable disease- flu, covid. Reach out to us to see if we can help move your ticket to someone else or give a credit to one of our other conference. Common sense and courtesy go a long way.
We also encourage all registered attendees to watch for additional information about the event and community health protocols as the conference gets closer.

Refund Transfer Policies
Refund & Transfer Policy
Refunds: Refunds are available until May 31, 2026.
Transfers: After May 31, 2026, you’re welcome to:
Transfer your registration to a friend or colleague, OR
Apply your registration as a credit toward one of our future conferences.
Chargebacks: A chargeback is a tool intended for cases of fraud or unauthorized charges. Because our tickets are purchased directly by you, chargebacks do not apply here. Filing a chargeback instead of working with us is considered misuse of that process and creates significant costs for our nonprofit. If this occurs, we may require future registrations to be paid by alternative methods (such as check or ACH transfer). PLEASE CONTACT US FIRST!
We appreciate your understanding and support, and we’ll always do our best to work with you if your plans change while mitigating any financial damage to ATN.
