Registering

Registering is what secures your place. For a presenter it is also what puts the presentation in the programme — an acceptance on its own does not hold it. Every conference has its own Registrations tab.

Three ways in

All three land in the same place.

  • Register, beside the conference title, at the top of every tab
  • The Registrations tab, along the tab row — this is where the prices are
  • Register as presenter, on your My events card, which appears once a proposal has been accepted and lands you on the right pass

Once you have registered, the button reads My registration. That is how you tell at a glance that a conference is one you are going to.

Two choices set the prices

On-site or Online at the top, then Presenter pass or Audience pass below. Everything you see beneath changes with those two.

  • Presenter pass — for people with work in the programme. It includes membership of the host research network rather than selling it separately
  • Audience pass — for attending without presenting. Every session, every presentation page, every discussion; just not on the schedule

Two strips above the passes say what is already applied: whether you belong to the host community, and any discount that carries with it.

Members get 15% off every registration type, applied automatically. There is no code to enter.

Presenters: the pass unlocks on acceptance

A presenter pass cannot be bought in advance of a decision. Until a proposal of yours is accepted, the panel shows a notice and a Submit proposal button where the prices would be. After acceptance the notice changes and the prices appear.

Acceptance qualifies you. Registration confirms the place.

Your presentation type decides which registration options you see. It is fixed at submission, so if it is wrong, contact support — it cannot be changed from this page.

Read the price windows

Each pass lists its rates in dated windows — usually Early, Regular and Late. One is on sale at a time; the others read Expired or Not on sale yet and keep their prices on show, so you can see what you missed and what is coming.

  • Regular, Student (20%) and Local (20%) are tabs, not codes — switch tabs to see those rates before you register
  • Local is for delegates based where the conference is held
  • Student and Local rates need proof. You upload it while registering and it is reviewed before the rate is granted
  • Where a discount applies, the full price is struck through and the reduced one shown beside it

If you need a letter of invitation for a visa or a funder, register early. It is released by registering, not by acceptance.

Frequently Asked Questions

My proposal was accepted — am I in the program?

Not until presenter registration is complete. Acceptance qualifies you; registration confirms the place.

There is no Register button on the presenter pass

Presenter passes unlock on acceptance. While a proposal is under review the panel shows a notice instead — an audience pass is available in the meantime.

The price I was expecting has gone

Check which window is on sale. Early rates close on a fixed date whether or not the conference is full — and the tab you are on, Regular, Student or Local, changes every figure on the page.

Do I need to register if I only want to watch online?

Yes — an online audience pass. Registration is what opens the programme, the digital media and the discussion boards.

I need an invitation letter for a visa

Register first. Acceptance releases a letter of acceptance; the letter of invitation is issued once registration is complete. Both sit under Download letters and certificates on your My events card.

Can I claim the student or local rate?

Yes, with proof. There is an upload step built into registering, and what you upload is reviewed before the rate is granted — it is not applied on the strength of picking the tab.

I registered on-site but now need to attend online

Contact support. The switch is not something you can make from the Registrations tab.

Is membership a separate purchase?

No. It comes with presenter registration and runs beyond the conference, which is why the panel links to the community it belongs to.
