Guest Registration
A $50 guest fee is assessed to register an adult (age 18 and up) accompanying a registrant at the meeting. Youth guests (age 15-17) may be registered at no charge. Family or friends of the registrant who plan to attend non-scientific portions of the meeting program (social events, field trips) are welcome to attend as guests. Fees to register for individual trips or social events also apply for guests.
For example, if you and one guest are both attending a ticketed mixer, you’ll need two tickets. Anyone who plans to attend scientific sessions (oral sessions, posters, workshops, special sessions) should not register as a guest.
Refund and Cancellation Policy
Written notification of cancellation must be emailed to the ESA registrar, and a US $25 fee will be assessed for processing refunds.
Cancellation Deadline: June 28, 2018 (No refunds will be given after this date.)
