Membership & Registration
Membership in OTESSA is separate from #OTESSA25 conference registration. In addition to purchasing membership, OTESSA presenters must register for both the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences (Congress), which is the governing body of all of its participating scholarly conferences, and the OTESSA conference. For more information on what the Congress portion of your fees covers, please visit the Congress 2025 website.
A breakdown of conference and membership fees is provided below.
OTESSA delegates attending or presenting at the conference must pay:
- OTESSA membership dues,
- OTESSA conference registration fees, and
- Congress registration fees.
To join OTESSA, please follow the two-step process. Alternatively, you may register as a non-member on the Congress conference registration website, as this registration category includes 2025 membership. The fees below include the Congress registration for the Congress site in Toronto.
All fees are listed in Canadian dollars and are subject to applicable taxes.
