Registration

Registration Information

Registration for the APCG Conference is handled by our national affiliate, the American Association of Geographers (AAG).  You don't have to be an AAG member to register using their system, but you will need to create a profile that contains basic information about you and your institutional affiliation, etc.  

At the bottom of the page, you will see three buttons.  One is for membership, one is for abstracts/titles and the third is for registration.  

Note that the deadline to submit an abstract was October 3, 2023.

Please review the various registration options below prior to clicking the registration button at the bottom of this page.  Have a credit card or other payment option available to you before you register.   If you're presenting a paper or poster, make sure you have your title and abstract ready.  Refer to the Call for Papers webpage for further information for presenters and panelists.

The registration system is flexible, so you may return to the registration page and modify your options after you have begun and in some cases even after you have paid.

Group registration is available.  If your institution would like to register and pay for students as a group, contact conference organizer Steve Graves. 

If you have any questions, please contact us:  steve.graves@csun.edu 

APCG membership is normally renewed on a yearly basis beginning January 1.   If you have already paid your membership dues for the year, you simply not choose a membership category during the conference registration process.  

If you are not a member, and chose this option, we will contact you to remind you to pay your dues.

If you are unsure of your membership status, please visit our membership management page (https://apcg.wildapricot.org/), and log in. 

If you are not currently a member of the APCG, then you may use either our membership registration page (https://apcg.wildapricot.org/join-us) to join or renew your membership, or you can do so using the AAG's conference registration webpage.

Please review the various conference registration costs below and when you are ready, click on the "Register" button below.  If you are not, nor have ever been a members of the AAG (Association of American Geographers) you will be required to sign up (free) before you can complete your registration (and so we can get your contact information).

Already Paid?  - just do not pay during registration, we will contact you if you are not current on registration.  Contact us if you are unsure of your current status.

The APCG calls for papers and posters from students, faculty, and professionals.  Special sessions, talks, and workshops can be organized as well.

Once you register for the conference, you can return to this page and click on the paper/abstract submission button below.  Your confirmation email should also include a link to submit abstracts.

Research submissions, abstracts, posters,  and special sessions must be submitted by October 3, 2023.

Students who present a paper or poster may choose to enter research competitions.  All presenters will automatically be considered for one or more travel awards.   For more information visit the Grants and Scholarship webpage at APCGweb.org

Students who are first authors on a submitted paper will be emailed a coupon code after they have submitted their abstract that can be used to offset the cost of attending the banquet.   Once conference organizers have your abstract, we will email you the coupon code and those students can return to the registration page, then add the banquet to their list of activities.

If there are additional authors on your paper, poster, or session, you may include them in the registration process.
