An accepted paper will be published in the proceedings only if the registration payment for one of the authors is received and correctly processed by May 10, 2026. No exceptions. One author who has paid the full non-student “Member” or “Non-Member” registration fee may present up to two papers, provided that the author is registered AND attends the conference to present his/her paper(s).
Each student registration covers only one paper. A full non-student registration may cover up to two papers, provided that the registered author is the presenting author and is an author on both papers. If the author registering to cover the paper publication is a student, he/she must pay the appropriate member or non-member fee. Members to whom the society bylaws grant special discounts cannot use the discounted rates to cover the publication of an accepted paper; they must pay the member fee. In the case that no registration has been received and correctly processed to cover the paper publication, the conference organizers will contact the authors before the paper is removed from the proceedings.
Exceptions may be granted at the discretion of the conference organizers in exceptional circumstances. For example, if an author is unable to travel due to visa issues, he/she must still complete the required registration and payment as outlined above and coordinate with the organizers for an approved alternate presentation arrangement.
