What does your registration include?

In-person registration

Full and day registrations include access to all relevant sessions and catering on your day of registration and you are also able to attend the welcome drinks and poster session. Optional extras including the conference dinner, field trips and workshops, carbon offsetting and guest tickets can also be added during the registration process.

The Ecological Society of Australia (ESA) and Society for Conservation Biology Oceania (SCBO) actively support the professional development of future ecologists and conservationists, and the long-held policy of subsidising to keep student registration fees as low as possible will continue. The student rate applies to full time, unwaged students. To receive the student rate, you will be requested to provide your student ID to verify your eligibility.
