Though the symposium is open to all, presenters must be from affiliated institutions. Because affiliated institutions pay a participation fee, registration costs are automatically covered for those institutions’ individual attendees. There is, however, a $25 fee for all attendees who are not affiliated with a participating institution.

Included in the registration fee are an hors d’oeuvres reception on Friday evening, a light continental breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and lunch on Saturday.
