Registration

This 3-day conference, which typically draws more than 400 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.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 2026 Wetland Science Conference held February 24-26 in Baraboo/Wisconsin Dells! It’s not too late to gain access to this On-Demand content. On-Demand 2026 registration includes recordings of conference oral presentations and pdfs of poster presentations. 

Registration for the 2027 conference will open in early December 2026.

Registration fees for 2027

We strive to make this conference affordable while covering our event costs. In 2024, we estimated that the actual per-person cost to WWA to put on this conference was $366. We are able to offer you a substantially lower registration fee because of the generosity of our sponsors.

Included in your registration in 2027:

• 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 – $132.5 (a 50% discount, proof of student status requested)
• WWA Members – $212 (a 20% discount. Join or renew today and save!)
• Nonmembers – $265

The above fees reflect early bird rates good through January 22, 2027. After January 22, fees increase by $40. Advance registration ends at noon on February 18. While you can register at the door if we have space available (in 2025, the conference sold out and we did not allow walk-ins), 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).
