Registration

During the registration process, you will be asked to sign in to an existing GSA account or create a new account. If you were a GSA member or attended a GSA conference in the last five years, you already have a GSA account and should use the “forgot your password” option. Your registration will not be complete until all fees are paid in full. Note that the abstract submission fee payment does not include meeting registration.

In-person registration will be open until February 25, 2022. On-site registrations will not be available due to Covid health and safety precautions. Virtual registration will remain open until March 20, 2022.

Please note: All participants at the in-person conference—presenters, attendees, exhibitors, staff members, guests, and vendors—will be required to be fully vaccinated (including a booster, if eligible) at least 14 days prior to the start of the meeting. In addition to a vaccination mandate for attendees, we will follow all federal, state, and local government and venue requirements for masks, social distancing, and other measures. Further policies can be found on the Conference Policies page.

For those who are unable to attend the in-person meeting, #Fungal22 offers the option to register for virtual attendance.
