Depending on popularity, the room block at the hotel may sell out before the deadline, so it’s important to make your reservations sooner rather than later.

Additionally, participants can earn additional credit for workshops and OnDemand sessions. See the descriptions and OnDemand instructions for specific credit amounts.

PSX OnDemand

What do I need to do to watch the recordings?

It takes several weeks after PSX to prepare the recordings for viewing. When they are ready, you will receive login instructions that will allow you to access the library of session recordings from PSX 2025. At the conclusion, you’ll be asked to complete an evaluation and submit for credit. Detailed instructions will be sent along with the login instructions.

Can I earn credit from watching session recordings?

You can earn contact hours for each additional session recording you watch if you follow the procedure for submitting for credit explained in the instructions. You will have access to these recordings until March 2026 and can view as many as you’re interested in.

What to Bring

What’s the attire for the conference?

We want you to be comfortable at PSX, so we suggest business casual attire. However, meeting rooms are often cold, so we recommend you bring a sweater or layers for your comfort. Typical Houston temperatures for September are daytime highs in the mid- to high-80s with nighttime lows in the mid-70s.

We also strongly recommend investing in comfortable, supportive shoes that are well broken in before you arrive in Houston.

How do I provide feedback/session evaluations?

Your feedback provides session leaders with the critiques they need to improve their presentation skills, and it enables the PSX team to know what worked well and what could be done better.

We will provide links to session evaluations on the conference schedule and in the mobile app. At the end of the conference, you'll receive an overall conference evaluation. And we encourage you to reach out to the conference team at any time!

If you have a question that isn't answered here, please feel free to contact us for more information.
