Registration for the meeting and payment of the appropriate abstract submission fee is required prior to submitting your abstract. This includes speakers who have been contacted by session organizers and “invited” to present in a scientific or education session.

There will be no virtual program.

Deferring Your Registration Fee

Government and other agencies may defer the registration fee for budgetary circumstances.  Defer the registration fee by using the Pay Later option at checkout. Deferred registration fees must be paid by 4 May 2023. Unpaid deferments will result in the cancellation of registrations and withdrawals of presentations.

Abstract fees may not be deferred.

Substitutions and Cancellations

We understand that occasionally other responsibilities and personal obligations prevent you from attending. If you find that you will not be able to attend the meeting, we encourage you to send a substitute. Substitutions can be made at any time at no additional charge.  The conference presentations will be available during and after the dates of the meeting, so please consider this before canceling.

If you find it necessary to cancel after you have already paid, we can refund your conference fee (less a $70.00 USD processing fee) if we receive notice in writing on or before 4 May 2023. Registrants who cancel on or after 5 May 2023 will not be eligible for any part of a refund. Abstract submission fees are non-refundable. (Please note that refunds only can be issued to the credit card that was used for the initial transaction.)

The conference management office must be made aware of all substitutions or registration transfers in writing; email notification is preferred.

To provide cancellation notice, request a refund, withdraw your presentation, or to advise us of a substitution, please send an email to Jo Davis at meetings@aslo.org.
