ISLS Annual Meeting 2023 Registration

Registration Process and Fees

ISLS has as a core tenet the commitment to increasing equity and diversity among its members, and especially for those who wish to participate in the annual meeting and publish in journals sponsored by the Society. Over the past year there have been numerous discussions within our membership, committees, and associated groups/networks around the world about how to realize this commitment in action. Since 2022, we have refined our Registration Fee structure for the ISLS Annual Meeting in an effort to act on these commitments. The Registration Fee structure is based on two factors: career category and the economic conditions in the country of residence. The 2023 Registration Fee structure recognizes:

1. Career category, recognizing that those earlier in their careers are in different financial circumstances than those later in their careers; and
2. Country of residence, recognizing that there are wide disparities in income across the globe.

We also maintain a separate fee structure for:

1. Practitioners (e.g., teachers, instructional designers/professional development staff, and school administrators) who work primarily in settings that serve K-12/pre-college level students and may register for the Annual Meeting without becoming members of the ISLS; as well as for
2. Participants in the Doctoral Consortium (DC) or Early Career Workshop (ECW), whose fees are covered but must be a current (2023) member of ISLS in order to register.

Here is a more detailed explanation outlining what the Annual Meeting registration fees pay for.
