Our opening reception and presidential keynote will be on July 5 with full conference days on July 6 through 8 (and our dance on July 7). We will offer add-on excursion options for July 9. Those dates leave the opportunity for you to add on to your time and enjoy the Boston Pops, Fourth of July fireworks celebration, or explore Cape Cod or other New England destinations.

Conference registration requires IARR membership, so make sure your IARR membership is up-to-date. Click this link for membership details.

ATTENTION STUDENT MEMBERS OF IARR: Please consider applying for an IARR 2024 Student Conference Award. This award is to help defray a portion of the conference registration cost. Award amounts will depend on number of viable applications received. Both undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to apply (see below).

Note: Students must register for the conference prior to applying for this award. Awards will be in the form of a partial registration refund, returned to the source used to pay online. Award amounts will depend on the number of qualified applicants; thus, students will initially pay the full student-registration cost in advance.

Eligibility: Applicants must be (1) current student members of IARR at the time of the application (click here to join if you are not already a member), (2) registered for the Boston conference, (3) participating in the conference in some capacity, and (4) willing to volunteer 1-2 hours of time at the conference (if needed). Although all eligible applicants will be considered, priority may be given to those who (1) have not already received IARR student-funding in prior years and (2) are primary (1st or 2nd) authors on an accepted submission (talk or poster) at the conference.

To apply for the award, fill out the form here no later than May 15th (midnight, U.S. EDT), the day early-bird registration closes. Applications will be evaluated based on these criteria by the IARR Committee to Fund 2024 Student Conference Involvement, a subgroup of IARR’s Finance Committee. Applicants will be notified of any awards by the end of May.

IARR is offering 2 to 6 International 2024 Travel Awards (for a total amount of $3,000) to IARR members from any region of the world, with priority given to IARR members from countries currently underrepresented in the membership base. Click this link to apply. The application deadline is March 25, 2024.

The beautiful space at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza lends itself to inviting conversation. We will have keynote presentations during the lunches to maximize attendance and inclusion. The breakout / meeting rooms look out into the Boston Public Garden. The hotel is a spectacularly restored icon in the heart of Boston Back Bay. Our room rate is $229 per night for the hotel for a double room ($20 per person additional fee for more than two per room). Because we are directly on the subway/MBTA, less expensive rooming options further from downtown offer a wide range of additional options (just make sure you’re accessible on the “T” or MBTA).

Our group rate for the hotel reservation link is below. Note that the two double-bed options begin on July 5. Click here to make reservations.
