FAQ - Registration

When will registration open?

Registration will open during the week of 16 March.

Early bird rates end on 23 April.

What are the conference registration fees?

See the Galway 2026 registration fees at https://iamcr.org/galway2026/registration-fees

Is it possible to attend the conference without submitting a paper?

Due to limited conference capacity, only authors of accepted papers who have been designated as presenting authors may register for and attend the conference.

What payment methods are accepted for registration fees?

You can pay with a credit card or bank transfer (additional fees apply). 

I am a member of IAMCR and will be attending the conference. Do I also need to register?

Yes, if you will be attending the conference you must register for it. Membership and conference registration are separate. While membership is required to register, being a member does not mean you are automatically registered.

Is there a group discount?

No, there are no group discounts.

Do both authors of a paper need to register for the conference, or is one registration enough?

Each person attending the conference must register individually. Only authors designated as presenting authors are eligible to attend and present their paper.

If a paper has more than one presenting author and both plan to attend the conference, each of them must complete their own registration. If only one presenting author will attend, then only that person needs to register.

Do I need travel insurance?
