Registration
How to Register
Conference registrations are handled through our online conference tool (ConfTool). If you do not have a ConfTool user account yet, you will first have to create one in order to register as a conference participant. If you already have a ConfTool account, please log in and then click 'Register as Participant' and follow the instructions in the ConfTool. When prompted to enter your payment method in Step 3, please select ‘Payment via PayPal’. Do not forget to confirm your registration by clicking on the 'Register Now' button in Step 4.
Please note that all presenters are expected to register for full conference and pay the applicable conference fee (standard rate or student rate). For co-authored presentations, only the authors who will be attending the conference are expected to register and pay the fee. Your presentation may be removed from the conference program if we do not receive your registration and payment by June 1, 2013.
Payment Options
We accept payments by Visa, MasterCard, American Expressor Discover via PayPal. In most cases, you will not need a PayPal account to complete your payment, but depending on your location you may be prompted to create one. A PayPal account is free and may be opened within minutes (you only need an active e-mail address). You should be able to link your credit card to your new PayPal account instantly and make your payment. If you already have a PayPal account, you can also use your balance to pay your registration fee.
How to Make a Payment
After you confirm your conference registration in ConfTool, you will be taken to the main page of your ConfTool account, and a ‘PayPal-Pay Now’ button will appear under your registration information. To make your payment, please click on that button, and you will be taken to the PayPal payment page, where you can pay securely by credit card or using your PayPal account balance. Depending on your location, you may be required to create a PayPal account first.
Your payment must made within 3 business days following submission of your registration. Participation is not guaranteed until the full payment of the registration fee is received. If you experience problems with making your payment, please contact us at lpp@ucalgary.ca
