• Registration rates for the 21st Conference on Mountain Meteorology are the same for in-person and virtual participants. We made this decision so that we can offer a robust, flexible, and equitable experience for everyone, whether you are in-person or virtual. Other factors involved include:

  • Increased costs for the in-person experience (audiovisual expenses, food and beverage costs, facility rental, on-site labor, travel costs, health and safety protocols etc.)

  • Increased costs for the remote experience (internet and hardware for live streaming, software for messaging and chat, labor, etc.)

  • It makes it easier for attendees to change their registration method from in-person to virtual and vice versa

  • It allows presenters the opportunity to present/facilitate discussion in-person or virtually with an in-person and virtual audience.
