Yes, all presenters are required to register for the conference at the early bird or regular rate. Based on 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.
Registration fees for CHLA/ABSC sponsored events are refunded with a processing fee if written notice is received by April 26, 2026. Cancellations requested in writing for medical reasons are accepted at any time and refunded at 50%. Please let us know ahead of time if you need to cancel. No-shows will not be refunded.
For registration issues, please contact Kristen Romme for assistance.
