Virtual Conference Registration is now Available!! registration can be found by clicking here or go to https://wda2023.exordo.com and progressing through Registration as above, and selecting the correct Virtual Conference designation when you get to adding Registration fees. The Virtual Conference Registration will allow attendees to livestream the scientific content of the conference, but will not allow you access to the WDA Business Meetings, the Workshops, Field trips, Social Events or Poster Sessions. The Virtual Conference will also allow attendees access to the content for 6 months after the conference concludes.
Full in-person conference registration includes attendance for all days of the scientific program (Monday, July 31st, 2023 through Friday, August 4, 2023) as well as lunch Monday-Thursday, all of the social events (Icebreaker on Sunday, Evening at the Botanical Gardens dinner on Monday, WDA Auction with heavy appetizers and drinks on Tuesday and the WDA Banquet dinner on Thursday night), and networking events. Single day registrations are available for those who cannot attend the entire event. For a full table of registration fees by categories, please scroll down.
There are a variety of housing options offered and we encourage you to make your lodging reservations early, as the conference period overlaps with the return of UGA students and their parents to Athens and housing can become difficult. If you are a student and cannot afford housing, please email shernz@uga.edu for alternative options.
