Recognizing that some institutions need additional lead time to register
their staff, SPNHC has *extended the early registration rates until July 15*
.

Registration is now open
<https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/register/event/76295> for all ticketed
events, including field trips, workshops, and the Gala dinner. If you
prefer to register for everything at once, you can now do so in a single
transaction. A virtual attendance option is also available for those unable
to travel.
