REGISTRATION INFORMATION:

All presenters and commentators must register for the Comic Book in Popular Culture Conference. Non-presenters must also register, unless they are attending the plenary sessions which are free and open to the public or if they are students who are attending one or two sessions for class credit. Note: Students must check-in at the Registration Table at 318 Bowen-Thompson Student Union before entering sessions.

All registered attendees will receive:

• Confirmation for early bird registration and regular registration submitted & received prior to October 20 from Conference Coordinators or Acteva by e-mail prior to the conference;
• Receipts for early registration and regular registration, the Conference Program Book, and registration packet of badges, tickets, and program supplements, upon check-in at the conference;
• Continental Breakfasts Friday and Saturday, McCloud & Exhibition Opening Reception on Friday, and Refreshment Breaks on Friday and Saturday during the conference. Note: All meals and refreshment breaks require that you wear your badge for admittance and will feature beverages and hot and cold hors d'oeuvres.

Please print, fill out, and return by snail mail the appropriate Registration Form. Click here for the full conference registration form. Click here for the Saturday-only registration form.

Please enclose appropriate payment by check, payable to “BGSU Center for Popular Culture Studies, 027120.” There will be an additional late fee of $25 for registration on-site or postmarked after Friday, October 15. (The late fee is waived for attendees who reside outside the USA or Canada.)

We accept payment by credit card on the Registration Form and through Acteva. Acteva is an online service that will charge you a small processing fee. In other words, it will cost you slightly more money to pay your fees through Acteva than to pay them by sending us a check. Here is the link to Acteva:

Payment on-site will be by cash or check. The Center for Popular Culture Studies and Department of Popular Culture does not accept direct payment by credit card. We will accept payment through Acteva during the first day of the conference, but we will require proof that you have completed the Acteva procedure and that you have paid the appropriate registration fee (e.g., confirmation number, etc.).

CANCELLATION POLICY:
If you submit a proposal (or if you accept an invitation to appear on a panel) and your proposal or panel is accepted but you cannot attend the conference, it is expected that you will notify all members of your panel and conference coordinators Charles Coletta and Angela Nelson (ccolett@bgsu.edu, anelson@bgsu.edu) of your cancellation as early as possible.
