Registration Information
The Marine Biological Laboratories (MBL), nestled in a small harbor town is a wonderful setting for a small conference. To facilitate interactions between students, postdoctoral fellows, and principle investigators, the number of attendees will be limited to the first 150 applicants.
The Society for Developmental Biology (SDB) subsidizes the meeting. Therefore, a SDB membership provides a reduction in the registration fees: If you renewed your membership or become a new member by March 15, 2011, you will be guaranteed reduced rates on registration and housing. SDB requires several business days to process renewals and two weeks to process new memberships, so be sure you have received confirmation of your renewal or new membership before registering for the NESDB conference.
How to Register: SDB handles the 2011 Northeast Society for Developmental Biology Regional (NESDB) Meeting. The NESDB conference registration link will be available through March 23, 2011. Deadline for Pre-meeting registration is March 23, 2011.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
***Although the open registration period is over, we will accept limited abstracts as long as space permits. Please contact Mark or Jesús for more information***
Registration fees include the cost of the Program Booklet, all meals during the conference, and refreshments during the breaks, poster sessions, and social mixers, regardless of whether you choose to stay on the MBL campus or in the town of Woods Hole. Shown below are the registration and on-site housing costs based on SDB membership and academic status. Payment may be made by Visa, Master Card, American Express, or Discover.
