Registration
5 May 2026 3 pm: Registrations for the main conference (i.e. Tues – Thurs) have now closed as we are at the venue capacity limits of 250 people.
Note: You are invited to register for the waitlist. For now, registrations remain open for Symposia and Social Events.
We have had a huge response of people wanting to come to the conference which is fantastic, but unfortunately we will not be able to fit in any more (with the exception of a few people that we have been in touch with individually). On the registration form there is now an option to be on a waitlist for the main conference if you want to be notified if there are any cancellations. There is also the option of joining online which is still available.
There are still places available for the 1-day symposiums on Monday – i.e. on Dasyurids and Bats and Wind Farms if you want to register for one of these. Note that this will shortly change to the full price registration.
We apologise to those of you that miss out, however, this highlights the benefits of registering early!
________________________________________________________________________
We welcome everyone with an interest in mammals from across all of Australasia to join us at this conference. We look forward to seeing you in person in Canberra, but if that is not possible, we welcome you to join online to listen to the presentations.
Key registration dates:
- Abstracts due – 20th April 2026
- Early bird registration closes – 4th May 2026
- Standard registration closes – 8th June 2026
Due to the wonderful generosity of our conference sponsors, we are able to provide a substantial discount on the registration fee for members of the AMS or ABS who are students. If there are members who are unemployed or retired for which the full rate would cause financial difficulties, please contact us to discuss the possibility of being considered for the student rate.
There are multiple rates based on a discount for students, a cheaper rate for members of either society (to encourage non-members to join!), and a cheaper rate for the Earlybird period to encourage you to register early to assist us with the planning and logistics. The three-day conference and one-day symposium are outlined separately. If you want to attend all four days, register for both the conference and the symposium.
