Registration closes on October 30, 2026 at 5pm ET. Given the technical requirements of the event, we will not accept registrations for the event after this date.

** This year we are using a new ticketing system and the registration is combined with the North Atlantic Right Whale Consortium registration, so please note that the date at the top of the event lists Monday, October 20 however when you choose your ticket type you will see the dates for each meeting listed. 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.**

Please note that there is no single day registration option for the meeting. 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 breakout room meetings. Additionally, in person registration fees include daily coffee/tea and breaks. Light appetizers on the 18th and lunch on the 19th are included. Should you need further information on the registration process, please contact Kara Mahoney Robinson.
