Please note: On Monday 1 December 2008 we will be reducing registration rates in line with the government's 2.5% VAT cut.

Early registration

Any registrations received on or before 09 February 2009 will be processed at the early rate.

Late registration

Any registrations received on or after 09 February 2009 but before 07 April 2009 will be processed at the late rate, and the difference in fees will be charged. Any registrations received after 07 April 2009 will be returned to the sender as it will not be possible to process them in advance of the meeting.

Online registration

Delegates will be able to register online this year until 11:59 GMT on Monday 27 April 2009.

Registration Rates for all delegates

On-Site registration

Delegates who wish to register on the day may do so on-site. You will be asked to fill in a registration form, and pay either by cheque, cash or debit/credit card. Please do not ask to be invoiced, as we are unable to accommodate this request.

Please note that delegate bags are subject to availability, and therefore cannot be guaranteed for anyone registering on-site.

Non-clinical scientists

A special registration fee is available for non-clinical scientists in non-tenured posts. In order to qualify for this rate, please copy our template letter onto your departmental headed paper, gain a signature from a supervisor and return to the BSR Education and Events Department with your registration form.

BHPR Tuesday Registration

This year in order to facilitate the attendance to the Tuesday BSR sessions a special registration fee of £40 is available for BHPR delegates to attend on Tuesday 28 April 2009. This is in addition to the usual BHPR registration rates for the main BHPR meeting (commencing Wednesday 29 April 2009, concluding Friday 01 May 2009).

Reduced rate & PCR registration

To qualify for this reduced rate you must be:

• A member of the BSR who is retired.
• A member or non-member earning less than £29,580pa. This must be confirmed in writing by a supervisor before reduced registration can be processed.
• A tenured scientist.
• A member of PCR.

We regret that we are unable to offer further discounted rates to overseas visitors.

Please copy our template letter onto your departmental headed paper, gain a signature from a supervisor and mail to the Education and Events Department.

All registration rates include the following:

• Entry to the scientific sessions of your choice on the days for which you have registered to attend the meeting (BSR or BHPR).
• Entry to the Exhibition.
• Delegate bag (not guaranteed for on-site registrants – subject to availability).
• Lunch and refreshments (Please note that delegates will only be provided with a lunch on the days for which they have registered).
• The Welcome Reception on Tuesday 28 April (only if you have registered to attend Tuesday).

Payment method

The BSR can accept payment of registration fees by cheque or credit/debit card, but please note we cannot accept American Express or BACs transfers. If you require an invoice, you must supply the contact details, and a purchase order number (only applicable to pre-registration).

Please allow 14 days for your registration to be processed. You will then receive a confirmation letter, which will show details of any payments made. A mailing will be sent to all pre-registered delegates approximately 2 weeks before the conference with further details including a map and pocket programme. Please inform the BSR Education and Events Department if your address changes during this time.
