MLA ’22 Registration Information

Register by March 11, 2022, to receive the early-bird discount savings for all full experience in-person registrations.

• Payment must accompany your registration. You may pay by check or money order payable to MLA or via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover.)  Payments must be in US dollars and free of bank charges.
  
  
• You are not considered registered until payment has been received. If you are attending MLA '22 in-person, payment must be received ahead of your arrival in New Orleans or ahead of the virtual offerings that begin on April 27. If you need an exception, please contact Kate Corcoran as soon as you register and have an invoice available in the system. Any payments not received by June 7, 2022, will be charged an $80 late fee.
  
  
• Electronic/Wire Transfer Information: Select the "Pay by Wire Transfer" or "Pay by Electronic Payment" buttons on your registration invoice to see detailed information for submitting wire or electronic payments, or contact MLA at websupport@mail.mlahq.org for transfer information.

When you register and pay online, you will receive a confirmation by email within minutes.  For easy badge retrieval, please bring your confirmation letter with you to the MLA Registration Center.

If you do not receive an emailed confirmation, please check your spam or junk email box or contact us at websupport@mail.mlahq.org so we can forward you a copy.

MLA members in good standing are eligible for discounted member rates, which save you more than $200 over nonmember meeting fees. To qualify for member rates, your MLA membership for 2022 must be renewed prior to registration; nonmembers may create an account and join on MLANET ahead of registering for the virtual or full-experience in-person conference.
