How to Register
There are two ways to register for the Annual Meeting:
1. Via website online: Register and pay with credit card (MC/Visa) via PayPal by clicking on the "Begin" button at the bottom of this page. More than 80 percent of registrants used the registration website last year. Let’s aim for 100 percent this year!
2. By mail: Clip or copy registration form from the journal or download it from www.AmSocBotArtists.org. Complete the form and mail it along with your check (payable to the ASBA) to: American Society of Botanical Artists, 16th Annual Meeting, 2900 Southern Blvd, Bronx, NY 10458-5126.
First come, first served: Please be assured that every effort will be made to insure fairness between modes of registration. Online registration/postmark date will be equal in terms of getting into workshops for the first week of registration, after that online registration will take precedence. As always, though, register as soon as you have made your decision to attend. That is always the best way to get what you want.
Confirmation: Sent via email only to those registering online or by US Postal Service and email to those registering by mail.
