Registration & Housing

Conference Safety

ABRCMS understands that travel may feel uncertain for members of our community. We acknowledge these concerns with care and respect. While we cannot control external factors, please know that your safety and well-being remain our highest priority. We will have security onsite to address any incidents. In addition, we are in constant communication with the Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) and will promptly alert attendees via the mobile app or email if any heightened risks arise during the event. Please click the links to view how San Antonio is a safe and welcoming city.

Safety Recommendations:

  • Walk in groups, especially during early mornings or late nights.
  • Remove your badge when not attending official ABRCMS/CUE events.
  • Stay aware of your surroundings and use your best judgment.
  • Avoid sharing hotel details or personal information.
  • Use San Antonio's Centro Ambassadors (wearing bright yellow shirts) if you need assistance walking around downtown. Centro, a non-profit safety organization, also has a safety resource guide.

If you have questions or concerns, please email abrcms@asmusa.org.
