REGISTRATION OPTIONS
Main Conference
There are three options for registering for the main OCEANS '16 MTS/IEEE Shanghai conference:
- as Presenting Author,
- as Attendee (including non-presenting authors), or
- as Exhibitor.
Please read below to see which method you should use.
Plenary Session and Exhibit Hall
Both of these events are free of charge; however, you must register either online (select “Exhibits Only” registration) or at the Registration Desk to obtain a Name Badge which is required for admission.
Tutorials and Workshops
Tutorials, held on Sunday, April 10, are an "add-ons" to the main OCEANS ’16 MTS/IEEE Shanghai conference and you may register for Tutorials without registering for the full conference. You must however register, so please follow this link http://shanghai16.oceansconference.org/ to our online Registration system then select “Tutorials Only” when prompted for the registration type.
If you are registering as a full conference attendee, you will be able to add individual tutorials to your registration.
EXPLANATION OF MAIN CONFERENCE REGISTRATION OPTIONS
Presenting Author of a Conference Paper or Student Poster
