Nonmember individuals interested in registering at the early registration member rate must submit membership applications no later than December 3, 2024. Individuals who are interested in joining the AACR and registering at the advance registration member rate must submit membership applications no later than February 7, 2025. Only individuals who are listed on the membership rolls as of March 25, 2025, will be accorded the privilege of registering for the AACR Annual Meeting 2024 at the member rates noted on the registration form. In order to receive the AACR member rate, individuals must be current in their dues at the time of registration. If upon review of membership application, a candidate is deemed ineligible for the membership category to which they have applied, then the candidate will need to register in advance at the nonmember rate.
