EMBO Members and EMBO community members* will receive coupon codes from EMBO communications to register at the discounted rates, equivalent to the ASCB Member registration rate plus the rate of ASCB membership. If you missed these emails and need a coupon code, contact communications@embo.org.
Guest Registration
Guest registration provides access to the Opening Night Reception and the Exhibit Hall. Guest registration does not include access to scientific sessions, meeting rooms, or workshops.
Guest Registration Fee: $99 per guest
Guest registration is intended for accompanying family members or friends of meeting attendees who do not have a professional scientific interest. All guests must be registered and wear a guest badge for entry to the included events.
The registrant and their guest(s) must be present onsite to pick up the guest badge. Badges will not be released to anyone other than the registered attendee and their guest.
Children of attendees age 17 and under do not need to register nor require a guest badge.
Press Registration
ASCB and EMBO welcomes all working press to cover the largest yearly meeting of research cell biologists in the world. Join us and work with our team to connect with scientific newsmakers at the meeting. To request press credentials and information about the conference, please contact Kevin Wilson, VP for Policy, Governance, and Partnerships at kwilson@ascb.org. Approved press will receive instructions for completing meeting registration.
Registration Policies
Cancellation Policy
Meeting registration is nontransferable. Refund requests must be submitted in writing to ASCBattendee@maritz.com no later than November 4, 2026. Requests received by that date will be refunded minus a processing fee: $100 for non-students, $50 for students. Refunds will not be issued after November 5, including for denied visa applications.
Child Attendance Policy
Children 17 and under are welcome when accompanied and supervised by a parent or guardian at all times. They may attend educational sessions if they do not cause disruptions.
Strollers are permitted in meeting rooms and the Exhibit Hall (except during setup and dismantle), provided they don’t block aisles or exits. Please note: crowded areas can pose risks to small children due to low visibility and objects like poster tubes or bags.
Badges will not be issued to children 17 and under.
Badge Replacement Policy
Attendees who lose their badge may pick up another one from the Badge Replacement counter in the Registration Area. Attendees must show a photo ID and pay a fee of $20. If an attendee loses the second badge, the attendee will need to re-register for the meeting before receiving another badge. You may pick up a replacement badge during attendee registration hours.
