To pick up your conference name badge or finalize your registration, you need to go to the registration area, which can be accessed only via the main entrance (corner Merivale and Glenelg Streets).

To encourage the broadest participation in the conference, the IAS has adjusted the registration fees to make the conference as accessible as possible.

The conference offers a four-tiered fee structure, with lower registration fees for delegates from upper-middle-income countries, lower-middle-income countries and low-income countries (based on the World Bank Classification) and students/postdocs/youth.

To participate in IAS 2023, delegates and students/postdocs/youth can choose between two registration formats.

You are entitled to put USD 75 of your registration fee towards a two-year IAS membership at no extra cost to you. The two-year IAS membership will be activated following the conference or, if you are already an IAS Member, the existing membership will be extended by two years. For more information, take a look at the IAS membership benefits.
