Why is there a registration fee for the SEM Annual Meeting and how is it determined?
The production of SEM’s Annual Meeting involves many large expenses, such as contracted conference management personnel, meeting room space, AV equipment and personnel, food service, printing, and local transportation. SEM calculates registration fees for each Annual Meeting based on estimates of total expenses, attendance, and supplementary conference income. Also, individuals who pay the regular registration fee help to subsidize the heavily discounted student registration fee.
