Registration Information

The general public may register:

  • On-line
  • By mail or
  • By fax, by downloading a hardcopy of the registration form.

NOTE: Students and University of California Faculty members may only register by mail or by Fax to UCLA Central Ticket Office: UCLA Central Ticket Office, PO Box 24607, Los Angeles, CA 90024-0607, FAX: (310) 206-7540. See All Other Students and University of California Faculty for more information on student and University of California Faculty registration.

Conference registration is a 2-step process. Your conference registration will be incomplete if you skip any steps:

    STEP 1: Complete the Pre-Registration form

    STEP 2: Payment registration

STEP 1 must be completed for each individual person registering for this event, even if only one person’s credit card will be used to pay for the registration fees for an entire group of people.

For example, if John Doe wants to pay the registration fees for himself as well as pay the registration fees for his two colleagues, Mary Smith and George Green, then John, Mary, and George each will have to complete their very own pre-registration form, but all three people in this group will list John Doe’s credit card information when they complete payment processing.
