Step 1. Select a Registration Type
General Public Registration Types:

Full-Time Student Members – Conference Registration Rate is $650 before December 24, 2021 and $850 after December 24 2021. The Full-Time Student Rate includes admission to the banquet.

Full-Time Student members will be asked to show their valid college/university student ID, and another form from their college/university to verify their status as a full-time student when they arrive at the conference registration desk, otherwise, they will pay the registration fee afforded to members of one of RAMS sponsoring societies, provided their society membership can be confirmed.
Any student with less than 9 credits MUST prove in writing that the school considers them a full-time student to receive the student member discount. If they can show their college or university considers them a full time student, they will receive the student member discount rate provided their society membership can be verified. Part-time students will not receive the student member discount; they will pay the same rate as non-student conference attendees.
