We offer early and late rates to encourage early registrations. This helps us estimate the number of onsite and virtual attendees for planning space, food, beverage, supplies and to avoid system crashes and other glitches from unexpected high volume with last minute registrations.

The ACL Exec have put together the following 3 registration types, each with an option for Authors to register their paper to present at the conference and cover their hard costs of presenting at the conference while allowing non-presenting authors and attendees a discounted rate for future advancement of the NLP Communities the ability to attend. 
 
1. Industry Pricing → For-profit organizations; highest tier; subsidizes others.
2. Academic / Regular Pricing → University & research institutions; mid-tier; the baseline for non-students.
3. Student Pricing → Enrolled students; lowest tier; strongly subsidized to encourage early-career participation. (Documentation required on request)
