- Once logged in, you will see the five Frontiers Workshops listed under Registrations.
- Select the workshop you wish to attend and choose the appropriate registration option.
Laboratory registration
The Principal Investigator (PI) should first purchase the laboratory registration package.
After registering, the PI must contact CSMB to request their laboratory registration code. The easiest way is to forward the registration confirmation email to
contact@csmb-scbm.ca.
Once the code has been provided, the PI can share it with members of their laboratory. Each lab member must sign in to their own Conference Manager account, select the workshop, choose Laboratory Member Registration, and enter the code provided by their PI.
To attend more than one workshop, return to the registration list and register for each workshop separately.
Zoom access:
The Zoom link will be provided to registered participants the day before each workshop.
