Register to Attend 

Watch for weekly Annual Meeting Geograms and check our website, Facebook, and Twitter for meeting updates.

Fees

To participate in the Annual Meeting, all attendees must pay the appropriate registration fee. You will not be able to submit an abstract for presentation if you are not registered for the meeting. Advanced registration fees may be paid online. The below fees apply only to new 2021 registrations and are not applicable for any registrations that were transferred from the 2020 Meeting.

Due to a glitch in our registration software, some attendees have had difficulty registering because their personal computers and devices are translating AAG's registration fees from U.S. Dollars to their native currency. Our system is only able to process registrations in U.S. Dollars, so please switch your primary language settings on your computer to English (United States) before registering for the annual meeting. This will solve the error problems that some folks have been experiencing.
