Registration

Registration will open October 16, 2025
To receive the member rate you must be a GSA member for 2026. Consider joining GSA and save hundreds on your registration fees. Your membership will become active within 20 minutes, and will remain valid through December 31, 2026. During the registration process, you will be asked to create a new account or sign in to an existing account. If you were a GSA member or attended a GSA conference in the last seven years, you already have a GSA account and should use the “forgot your password” option.

Any questions please contact: gsaconferences@genetics-gsa.org

Letter of invitation – If you submitted an abstract you can access your letter of invitation for your visa application, through your author portal in the abstract submission program. If you did not submit an abstract, please send a request, with your full mailing address to gsaconferences@genetics-gsa.org and a letter will be emailed back to you.

Shirt Design Competition – Original designs are being solicited for the Fungal 2026 shirt.
