The Pre-Registration Form and Pre-Registration Payment Guideline for the 2008 Annual Conference is available in two formats below.

Notes regarding registration:

For this year’s meeting in Anchorage, your 3-day registration will include the Opening Reception, lunch on Tuesday, Tuesday night’s Social, and Wednesday night’s Banquet with the infamous Mr. Whitekeys.  Additional banquet tickets for guests can be purchased on the pre-registration form or can be purchased at the meeting. Registration will entitle you to a program listing the sessions and abstracts from each presentation (distributed at the conference).

Those that are only attending for one day can take advantage of the one day registration fee, which provides you with that day's presentations, coffee and snacks at breaks and a program.

If you register prior to October 4 you are entitled to an early registration discount (check-out the specifics in the pre-registration form below).

Student rates for membership apply only to Student members of the American Fisheries Society. Student membership rates for the Society and the Chapter total $24 (Join Online Here). Student members assisting with the meeting (i.e registration, slide projector etc) will have their registration fees waived. Contact Dona Eidam (eidam.d@alaska.com ,cell 907-764-7144; home 907-694-7143) for details. Students who are not members of the AFS are required to pay the full non-member registration fee.

Registration fees are less expensive for members of AFS. Non-members may join AFS and the Chapter at time of registration and register at member’s rate (see the pre-registration form for details).  Alternatively, you can Join Online Here, and provide a copy of the on-line receipt with your registration.

Don't forget to buy a Wednesday evening banquet ticket for that special guest but you must have registered for at least one day to buy a banquet ticket.
