ISA does not require anyone to be a member in order to present a paper, and provides different registration fees for members and non-members. Those RC/WG/TGs that require presenters in their sessions to be members of the RC/WG/TG, and/or also of ISA, should clearly inform potential presenters about these requirements from the very start of conference preparations.
ISA does not require anyone to be a member in order to propose a session. However, the ISA does require a confirmed session organizer to be a member of the ISA and of the RC to which the session is accepted.
In order to be included in the program the participants (presenters, chairs, discussants, etc.) need to pay full registration fees by March 22, 2025. If not registered, their names will not appear in the Program Book and in the Abstracts Book.
For co-authored paper, in order for a paper to appear in the program, at least one co-author should pay the registration fee by the early registration deadline March 22, 2025; the names of other co-authors will be listed as well. If other co-authors wish to attend the conference, they must pay the registration fee.
Please remember that it takes 24 hours to process membership fees, so please wait after paying your membership fee and/or your registration fee before contacting the ISA Secretariat.
