Overview
After a three-year hiatus on in-person meetings, the AbSciCon scientific organizing committee and meeting chairs are planning an exciting week of science, networking, and out of this world extras to bring together the astrobiology community again.
The registration rates reflect the costs of supporting both an online and in-person (Atlanta, Georgia, USA) meeting in a safe and secure way, making all content available and accessible to attendees, and supporting reduced rates to expand participation for students and attendees from Global South communities.
All attendees onsite in Atlanta need to be fully vaccinated. If you are not vaccinated and wish to attend, please attend the online meeting.

As a reminder, only fully vaccinated people may attend #AbSciCon22 in-person in Atlanta. If you are not fully vaccinated (two weeks after the last required shot), please plan to attend online.
