Early-Bird Registration Continues – Save $50 on Admission!

State of the Coast 2016 is committed to offering a robust, comprehensive conference at an easily affordable price.  Our Early-Bird Registration is now open, but time is running short. For professionals, the three-day price is only $410 and for students, it’s only $160. Early-Bird Registration continues until Sunday, April 3.  Afterwards, registration will be $460 for professionals and $210 for students.  Your registration includes entry into all of our daily sessions and events, morning and afternoon networking breaks, lunches, an opening reception Wednesday night, as well as a Happy Hour Poster Session Thursday night.  This is an incredible value for a three-day conference in one of the world’s most exciting cities--New Orleans.

What if you can’t make it for all three days? Don’t worry! For the first time, State of the Coast is offering a one-day rate. For professionals, the one-day early registration rate is $250. For students, the one-day early registration rate is only $95. So if you can’t make if for the entire conference you can still be a part of SOC16. Take advantage of our early-bird registration price by signing up today!

Restoration on the Half Shell: Presentations in Non-Technical Language

This half-day program is brand new to SOC16! It offers an overview of coastal protection and restoration in Louisiana, including current plans and the progress that’s been made. Consider this a “mini-SOC16” experience. There will be two sessions of presentations and discussions in clear, non-technical language. To maximize the experience, attendees will have full access to all posters and exhibits. Continental breakfast and a coffee break in the exhibit hall and the plenary lunch will provide plenty of opportunities to network. To learn more and to register Click Here.
