Fee details
Thanks to the generous support of the sponsoring agencies, the majority of costs for the meeting are covered. The anticipated registration fee will be $100, which will cover 4-nights of lodging, meals, transportation to/from Santa Catalina Island, transportation for field trips, and facility usage. Participants will be expected to pay for travel expenses from their home to Southern California. However, we have funds to support the travel of participants, which will be prioritized toward under-represented groups as well as early career and student participants. All participants will be expected to make their own travel arrangements to arrive at Long Beach, CA in time for a scheduled ferry to the Wrigley Institute on Santa Catalina Island.
Application
The conference will be limited to 64 participants, and each participant will have to commit to attending for the full duration of the conference as transport to/from Catalina Island is provided at the beginning and end of the meeting, but otherwise is limited.
