Early Bird Rate Deadline: March 31, 2014

Discounted Rate Deadline: May 31, 2014

Online registration closed from June 1 to June 17, 2014

Onsite Registration: June 18 to June 22, 2014

Cost per participant: $450 (˜RMB 2700). The estimated cost includes conference venue charges, conference materials, equipment rentals, student scholarships, meals, and staff costs, etc.  Conference registration income pays for about a third of the expenses. University and corporate sponsorships covers the remaining two thirds.

* The registration requires the payment of a 2-year membership with subscription to the IACMR official journal and access to many paid membership-only resources provided on our website.  If you are already a paid member, the two-year membership will not start until your current membership expires.

There is an increase of annual membership dues in both US dollars and Renminbi. The bigger amount of increase in USD partly attributes to the continuous appreciation of RMB against USD in the past two years.

Discounted meals on June 20 and 21 are also available for spouses to book when registration on line, but the Welcome Lunch on June 19th is not available for booking online.

For convenience of the conference participants, we will book lunches for June 20th and 21st.

The cost of US$10 or RMB60 for each lunch each person will be basically covered by the conference. However, you need to pay US$ 5 for two lunches to help us get an accurate estimate of number of lunches to avoid waste due to overbooking. You will receive the lunch coupons with your registration packet on site.
