21st Australasian Bat Society Conference
Registration and presentations on any topic of bat biology and conservation are invited for the 21st Australasian Bat Society Conference.
Instructions for registration
Please fill out a separate registration for each conference delegate. This registration form has been designed to be read in conjunction with the ‘Call for Registration’ document which provides all the necessary details. This has been emailed to all members and is also available on our website here. The conference will be a hybrid with both in person and online options, however we encourage members to join us in person if possible.
