Registration fees cover attendance at all scientific events over the four days (June 19-23) including concurrent sessions, symposia, spotlight sessions, plenary addresses, and three evening poster sessions with light food and a cash bar for wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages (drink tickets are not provided). They also include early morning (i.e. pre-plenary) coffee/tea, morning and afternoon coffee breaks (June 19-23) and the opening reception on Friday evening, June 19. Lunch is not provided (except as part of some optional events that have an extra fee and require registration). There is a small additional charge for the conference-ending Super Social at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Tuesday evening, June 23 (which includes dinner and one drink ticket).

Talk & poster submission
Once you have completed the Attendee Registration process, a link to your 'Profile home' will appear in the registration system. Follow it to sign up for a talk and/or poster. There is no selection process for regular concurrent talks: all talk submissions are accepted UNTIL AVAILABLE SLOTS ARE FILLED or until 10 PM Eastern Daylight Time on Apr. 15, whichever is earlier. All posters submissions are accepted until 10 PM EST on June 1; Poster submissions after June 1 are discouraged although may be possible, space permitting; these will be grouped during the poster sessions into a "Last minute submissions" section (and denoted as such in the program).
When you first register you will create a login name and password that will allow you to return to the site to modify the information provided. You can change your talk/poster details (i.e. title, authors, keywords, optional abstract) at any time (i.e. up to and even during the conference), and these changes will be immediately reflected in the online scheduler and mobile app. However, the talk schedule will be built from the talk database as it exists on Apr 15. Therefore, if you make substantial changes to your title and/or keywords after Apr. 15 it may mean that your talk is no longer grouped in the correct session (i.e. it will be with other talks according to the previous information you provided). Only title & authors are required to submit a talk/poster; Abstracts are optional (unless you are applying for the Mayr or Hamilton award, or you are submitting a candidate talk for a Spotlight session), but if provided your abstract will be available to attendees via the online scheduler and mobile app.
Please note that due to the complexity involved in scheduling hundreds of talks and posters, we unfortunately cannot accommodate individual requests to present on a specific date or at a specific time. Thank you for your understanding.
