Yes, all presenters are required to register for the conference at the early bird or regular rate. Based on the experience from previous years and due to the logistical requirements, we are not offering a one-day or half-day registration option. However, there are reduced rates available for those who are retired or unemployed, library technicians, and students as well as registrants who self-identify as belonging to equity-denied groups; see our posted registration rates. We want to also remind presenters that CHLA/ABSC offers members Annual Conference Grants to support attendance.
We are offering discount codes for Air Canada and WestJet. Information on using these codes and on getting around Vancouver is available on our Travel & Accomodation page.
Booking directly through the conference hotel is important as it allows CHLA/ABSC to meet its contractual obligations, and put on the conference for a reduced cost for attendees.
Please review the CHLA/ABSC Conference Code of Conduct before attending. We are dedicated to ensuring our conference is inclusive and welcoming for all. Report any potential violations of the Code of Conduct using the Incident Reporting Form.
We are committed to making our conference accessible to everyone. We encourage all presenters to review our accessibility resources in preparing their materials. Attendees can also learn about the accessibility features of the conference hotel. If you need conference materials in an alternative format or notice any accessibility issues with our website, please contact us.
