Registration

The Teacher Appreciation Pre-Sale requires a credit card payment. Your credit card payment is due upon registration. 

Early bird registration for CAST25 will open in July at both STAT member and nonmember rates. Checks and purchase orders will be accepted when early bird registration opens.

You should have received an email confirmation when you registered for the conference. If you did not receive an email confirmation, please contact stat@statweb.org. 

CAST25 will be held November 13–15, 2025, at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel, 400 Olive St., Dallas, Texas 75201.

The CAST25 hotel block will open in July.

Review the CAST Terms & Conditions for the full cancellation policy. Cancellation requests for conference registration will be accepted until October 15, 2025, and are subject to a $25 administrative fee. Contact stat@statweb.org for information. Cancellation requests must be made in writing and received by email at stat@statweb.org or postmarked by October 15, 2025, and mailed to: Science Teachers Association of Texas or STAT, 3305 Steck Avenue, Suite 200, Austin, TX 78757.

Refunds of $25 or less will not be processed. A $25 fee will also be charged for insufficient fund checks and disputing valid credit card charges. Registrants who do not pay their balance may not be eligible to attend future CAST conferences.

Please note that all registration transfers must be completed before October 31, 2025, as substitutions will not be allowed during the event.
