If you haven't registered yet, please remember that the regular registration period continues until 8 June. Online registration will close a few days later. You will be able to register on-site, but we highly recommend that you do it now. Register online now.
 

Eugene airport

Eugene's airport is located 20 minutes from the city centre and 25 minutes from the university housing complex. Many of the hotels offer a free shuttle. For information visit the Eugene Cascades and Coast page on local transportation.

The University of Oregon housing doesn't offer a shuttle service. For information on taxis and shuttle services that you can book online before you leave home see this page.
 

Reminder about Accommodations

If you haven’t booked your lodging yet, it is highly recommended that you do it as soon as you can. University of Oregon Housing is almost at capacity for IAMCR, and reservations will no longer be received after May 31. Eugene is a very busy place in summer and hotels are on high demand in addition to reservations from our conference. Go to this page for more information.
 

Submit your full paper before 31 May

Full papers submitted by 31 May will be sent to the heads of the sections and working groups (Yes, we are giving you a few extra days). The heads can then share them with panelists, session chairs and discussants or members of the section or working group. Submit them online at https://iamcr.org/submit2018. Papers received after the deadline will be sent to the heads a few days before the conference.
 

Simultaneous interpretation in Spanish

 We will be offering simultaneous interpretation – English to Spanish – for the two Plenary Sessions and the General Assembly. https://oregon2018.iamcr.org/translation
