The meeting is intended to span a full business day and will include catered breakfast and lunch. This year, we are waiving the cost of registration for students. The itinerary will be fully in-person, with no live remote viewing available, but out of consideration of accessibility, we intend to record all lectures for viewing by members. In addition, we will be offering CE credits through PACE (final agenda pending, but tentatively 6.0 contact hours). CE credits will be offered to live attendees only.

Registration will be required. Registration links will open in 2026. Once you have submitted registration, please submit payment below (link pending). Attendees and their payments will be manually registered by the ILABB executive committee, so you will receive follow-up communication if no payment is submitted.
