Registration Opening in April

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING ALL REGISTRANTS AT THE CONFERENCE.

We will allow organizational members to use their 5 spots for membership discounts for conference registration regardless of whether it is the 5 they list but it is 5 max either way. This is distinct from who they list for the 5 spots that would allow those listed persons to vote and receive the other listed perks.

If you need to cancel your registration, the cancellation must be made in writing via email to administrator@georgiagerontologysociety.org, by 11:59 p.m. on June 20, 2026. You will be charged a $35 cancellation fee. No refunds will be given after June 20, 2026. You will be able to transfer a registration to another individual until midnight on July 3, 2026. Contact us at administrator@georgiagerontologysociety.org to make a registration transfer.
