Registration Information

 Random APS Picture

Web-based registration closes 8 a.m. Minneapolis time on Tuesday, June 22, 1999. Registration via FAX closes 8 a.m. Minneapolis time on Wednesday, June 23, 1999. All subsequent registration and payment can be handled on-site at the Registration/Information desk, although it would speed things along if you have filled out your forms in advance (the forms can still be downloaded).

A two-tier fee structure has been developed, in order to encourage registration prior to March 1, 1999. In addition, there are substantial savings for American Peptide Society members. Non-members are invited to consider joining the Society prior to registration for the Symposium. Since annual dues for regular membership are $95, participants who elect to join will immediately save $5 (postdoctoral fellows and students save even more). Members receive subscriptions to the Society's journals, and membership is a prerequisite to be considered for a travel grant supplement or to enter the Young Investigators Mini-Symposium and Poster Competition.

Registrations received by June 1, 1999, will be acknowledged by e-mail. Written receipts for fees paid will be included in the Symposium package received at the on-site registration desk.
