CNS*2026 Halifax: Registration Fees

Different rates are charged for Students, Postdocs, and Faculty (and others), and OCNS Members receive large reductions in each category. You can apply to become a member; the total for membership fees + meeting registration for members is usually lower than meeting registration for non-members.

Please also note that the main registration fee does not include a banquet ticket. 

Early registration ends 13th May 2026, for non-members and 20th May 2026 for members. Afterwards, late registration fees are charged.

Note: you can add items to your initial registration at a later date (e.g., add banquet ticket, tutorials, workshops, etc.).
