Local Registration

Online registration is now open. Registration at the early-bird rate is in effect until Friday, July 4, 2025. 

The following registration fees are offered only to participants living, studying or working in the Greater Montreal Area to promote the involvement of local students and researchers who would not need accommodation (hotel room). As such, the reduced fees detailed below have less inclusions than the regular registration types available to the international community. To purchase an all-inclusive registration, please refer to this page. 

Please review the information below carefully and contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions.
