Registration
This 3-day conference, which typically draws more than 350 attendees from Wisconsin and surrounding states, will include keynote addresses, symposia, topical oral sessions, a poster session, workshops, roundtables, field trips to area wetlands, and plenty of networking opportunities.
Registration fees for 2025
We strive to make this conference affordable while covering our event costs. In 2024, we estimate that the actual per-person cost to WWA to put on this conference is $366. We are able to offer you a substantially lower registration fee because of the generosity of our sponsors.
Included in your registration in 2025:
- Lunch on both Wednesday and Thursday and dinner on Wednesday
- Social events on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings (free first drink, then cash bar)
- Coffee, tea, and snacks during breaks
- All conference oral and poster sessions, symposia, working groups, and roundtables
Workshops and field trips are optional add-on events with a small additional fee.
Please note that we offer registration fee discounts for students and current WWA members. We also offer a pay-what-you-can option for attendees who are not students for whom the conference registration fees pose a barrier to attending (see below for details).
Conference Registration Fees (attending in person):
- Undergraduate and Graduate Students – $125 (a 50% discount, proof of student status requested)
- WWA Members – $200 (a 20% discount. Join or renew today and save!)
- Nonmembers – $250
The above fees reflect early bird rates good through January 24, 2025. After January 24, fees increase by $40. Advance registration ends at noon on February 20. While you can register at the door, a late registration fee will apply. Note that we cannot guarantee access to some sessions or meal selection preferences for at-the-door registrations.
Pay-What-You-Can Registration
This option is for non-student attendees for whom the conference registration fees pose a barrier to attending. We do not want registration fees to keep people who want to attend this conference from being able to attend. If you cannot afford to pay the full-price fees to attend the conference, select this option to pay what you can afford to cover some of WWA’s base costs. Donations by other conference attendees and sponsors will cover the difference. Registration includes access to all three days of the conference. Note that workshops, field trips, and the banquet are optional ticketed events (with additional fees not covered by this pay-what-you-can option).
On-demand-only registration
Access as of March 10, 2025, to recordings of conference oral presentations and pdfs of poster presentations.
- Students – $25
- WWA Members – $40
- Nonmembers – $50
Conference Community Agreement & Code of Conduct
As a community, we strive to make the conference (both in-person and virtual) enjoyable, safe, and welcoming to everyone. This has always been true for this conference and this community. To reinforce this commitment, we developed a Wetland Science Conference Community Agreement & Code of Conduct. In a nutshell, the agreement says that our community will be kind, patient, and accountable. Everyone who registers for the conference is expected to uphold these standards. Read the whole agreement & code of conduct here.
Conference Cancellation Policy
No refunds will be given for conference registrations as oral presentation session recordings will be available on-demand following the conference. If you are not able to attend the in-person conference and you notify us in writing no later than two weeks prior to the first day of the conference, we will refund the difference between an in-person conference registration and an on-demand-only registration. No refunds of conference fees will be made in the case of non-attendance or less than two weeks’ notice. Substitutions will be accepted. Field trip, workshop, and on-demand registration fees are non-refundable.
If public health guidelines at the time of the conference make it imprudent to hold a large in-person gathering, we will move content online and apply all registration fees for the in-person event to the virtual event.
Thank you for understanding our need for this policy. Please call 608-250-9971 if you have any questions.
