To register for the Congress, you will be directed to an secure external website (hosted by ServiceU) and given these options: credit card (on-line); international bank transfer; or mailing money orders / checks.
What Can I Register For?
Currently, the website will allow you to register for the May 9-14, 2010 Congress (see the fee schedule below) and indicate whether you are interested in applying for the May 8-9, 2010 Pre-Congress Student Workshop, "Communication, ethics, and networking" (registration is limited). Click here for more information about the Student Workshop.
The website does not yet allow you to register for field trips. Several land-based field trip options will be included with your Congress registration fee, such as guided ethnobotanical walks, guided visits within Pacific Rim National Park Reserve and other protected areas near Tofino, and guided visits to Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations villages. Most of these will be a half-day, allowing you to enjoy other recreational or social opportunities. Ocean-based field trips will also be available for a fee, such as guided Native canoeing, guided kayaking, or guided wildlife viewing and trips to Nuu-chah-nulth sites. These will vary in cost, from $50 to $100 depending on the length and distance of trip.
The website does not allow you to register pre- or post-Congress workshops. You must register through the workshop organizer/sponsor. Click here for more information.
