CERF 2023 Virtual Registration

Register Now

To increase accessibility of the CERF conference, and to maximize the impact of presentations, we are providing a virtual registration option. Virtual attendees will be able to view select recorded events, view recorded talks and posters after the conference, and share their research as a recording. Presentations by virtual attendees will NOT be shown live at the conference; they will only be available as recordings in the archival library after the conference. There will be a separate call for virtual presentation abstracts later this summer.

Presentations will be available in an online archival library for six months after the conference. This will allow virtual attendees, as well as in-person attendees who missed presentations, to view them after the conference. Based on CERF 2021 and the 2022 Joint Aquatic Sciences Meeting, we have found that there are hundreds of post-conference views of archived presentations, providing your research with greater visibility and reach. All presenters will be required to record and upload their oral presentation or provide an electronic version of their poster by the conclusion of the conference.
