How did you set the registration fees?
We know that the conference is an important event for our members, and we therefore try to keep registration rates as low as possible. Running a conference is always expensive and even more so with the current impact of inflation.
With this in mind, we have set registration costs as low as we can (alongside our hardship waiver program) without risking to generate an unsustainable loss for the Society. Conference registrations only pay for a portion of the conference each year. The Society always subsidizes conference expenses from our funds and this year is no different. By setting appropriate registration fees, the society can ensure that we can sustain our conference into the future.
Where does my registration fee go?
We anticipate it will cost approximately US$500,000 to run the 2025 conference. The main components of the running costs are roughly as follows:
-
-
- Venue (room hire, wifi, poster boards etc): $90k
- In-venue AV (equipment and support) plus virtual platform: $205k
- Food and beverage expenses: $55k
- Conference administrative support, registration, banking, insurance etc: $90k
- Travel awards and prizes: $30k
- Travel for invited speakers: $30k
-
