NOTE: Registration is currently open only for those who need early invitation letters for visa applications.  Full registration (workshops, t-shirts, special events) will open in February 2024.

Registration/login for the conference is different than your society login (if you are a member of one of the societies).  You will need to create a separate registration and login for the conference.

The societies represented at the annual Evolution conference are not-for-profit organizations.

Funds from registration for the different meeting styles will be used to cover the virtual and in-person conference costs respectively (including recording), to cover the costs of staff for the organization and support of both conference styles, and to provide funds to increase accessibility for students and attendees from low GDP countries.

If you wish to register a group, please contact Karen Faller at evolution.meetings@gmail.com

​** A guest is a person accompanying a standard (i.e. non-guest) registrant. The guest can attend the 'social' functions only (i.e. opening reception, coffee breaks, evening poster sessions). Anyone wanting to attend talks, symposia, workshops and/or other academic events must independently register as a regular attendee. Guests receive a discount on Super social tickets (see below).
