Registration

Registration Fees & Payment

Registration Overview

Each presenting author must complete a paid registration. A registration covers a maximum of two papers (of which the registrant is co-author) in either oral or poster sessions. At least one author or qualified substitute must present. Only registered and paid papers will be scheduled in the conference program and proceedings. Registration is valid only when the payment is received and processed.

META is a community conference: there is no financial subsistence provided for session organizers, session chairs, and invitees. All participants are required to register and pay the registration fee.

Registration Fees

Registration includes admission to all META technical sessions and tutorials, lunches (first 3 days), exhibit and break areas, and an electronic copy of the program and proceedings.

Sponsored registrations (limited): META provides a €200 discount funded by the conference for approved applicants. The discount is based on the Early Bird registration fee (Regular or Student). Approved applicants may use the reduced fee until 6 June 2026 (end of the Advanced-rate period), provided payment is completed by that date. Not available for Late / On-site registrations.
