Note that it may take up to 24 hours after you join GSA for your member record to update in the registration program to receive the member price.

Registration fees are charged to cover technology and staff time in organizing and running the meeting.We know that some of those who took the meeting survey wondered what registration fees for a virtual conference are used for, so we would like to be transparent about the costs involved. These include:

• Custom development, testing, and subscription costs for the conference app, registration program, scheduling software, Zoom webinar licenses, private video hosting, and other services
• Design and communications services for creating and maintaining a website, writing and sending blast emails and surveys to attendees, developing technical instructions for the conference technology, creating an abstract and program book, promoting awareness of the meeting, and other tasks
• Live technical support, conference hosting, and hardware
• Project management and other logistical and administrative tasks
