Are you a member of the Society for Birth Defects Research and Prevention and DNTS or OTIS? If so, you are eligible for a reduced joint registration fee. The optional joint member registration fee allows members of both groups to register for both meetings at a reduced rate via one payment. Select the joint member registration fee on the registration form or when you register online. The Societies will validate the membership status of all registrants. Registrants who do not meet the membership requirements for both Societies will be responsible for paying the full fee for the separate meetings.

In addition to the optional joint registration fees, the organizations have continued to include a few joint sessions in this year’s meeting. Registrants of the respective meetings are welcome to attend the joint sessions and the sessions hosted by the organization for which they are registered.

The Member registration rate is only available to Society for Birth Defects Research and Prevention members who have paid their dues through the current year. If you are unable to register at the member rate, it is possible that your dues payment has not been received. Please contact the Society for Birth Defects Research and Prevention headquarters to inquire about the status of your membership. If you prefer, you may pay your dues online and register for the event in the same transaction.

The graduate student and postdoctoral fellow registration rate is available to all graduate students and postdoctoral fellows regardless of membership status.

Emeritus members are encouraged to participate in the meeting and the Education Courses. The Society is pleased to continue to offer reduced meeting registration rates and complimentary registration to the Education Courses to Emeritus members of the Society for Birth Defects Research and Prevention. To qualify for this rate, you must be an approved Emeritus member of the Society for Birth Defects Research and Prevention. For more information on Emeritus membership please contact the Society for Birth Defects Research and Prevention headquarters.
