Register by April 23 for Early Bird rates!
This year, we are offering simpler registration fees in line with other conferences. Instead of a non-member rate, non-members will pay the additional DRS membership fee on top of the regular fee.
Student/DAC registration is for full-time students (certificate of registration required) and delegates who live in middle-income or low-income countries. These countries are listed here.
Online registration gives you access to nearly every event at the conference — Papers, Conversations, and Keynotes.
Day rates are available upon request. Refunds are available until May 29. If you need DRS to issue an invoice to your institution for payment, please contact support@thedrs.org.

Instead of a non-member registration fee, you'll just pay the fee plus the DRS membership fee that applies to you. Since you'll be a DRS member, we hope you'll continue connecting with everyone you met at DRS2026 throughout the year.
