2026 annual meeting

16-17 November 2026
Halifax Convention Center
​Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
​​Hybrid Meeting

REGISTER
Registration will open June 2026

​Registration fees
: 
In-Person: $200 USD 

Virtual: $125 USD

Student Registration Details
Only full time students are eligible for this rate. Student registrations are limited.
Student In-Person registration Fee: $100 
Student Virtual registration Fee: $62.50

Onsite registration is limited and once we hit capacity we will not be able to accommodate any additional onsite registrations. 

Registration closes on October 30, 2026. Given the technical requirements of the event, we will not accept registrations for the event after this date. 
​

Please note that there is no single day registration option for the meeting.

** This year we will again be using a new ticketing system and the registration is combined with the Ropeless Consortium registration, so you may register for both meetings at the same time if you choose to.

Please note that the system is set to accept one registration per person at a time. If you are registering multiple people, each will have to be individually registered.  Please email Kara Mahoney Robinson to assist with large group registrations.**  


Refund policy: Registration for the 2026 Annual Meeting is non-refundable and non-transferable. Should we pivot to a fully virtual meeting, the cost difference between the two participation formats will be credited to the registrant's 2027 meeting registration. 

Registration fees include access to presentations, session Q&A panels, and potentially breakout room meets. Additionally, in person registration fees include daily coffee and lunch as well as an evening reception on Monday, November 16.  

Should you need further information on the registration process, please contact Kara Mahoney Robinson.
