If you selected this option and would like to use your deferment payment towards ISTS40, then please register as a new user here and email us your name, what registration category you fall under (high income/low income/student), and what workshops/regional meetings you would like to sign up for. We will then contact you with confirmation of your participation.

Students from a country considered high-income should pay the high-income fees rate whereas all other categories should pay the low-income registration fee. Please select here to see the World Bank classifications and determine what rate you should pay.
Symposium Shirt
One important aspect of any Symposium is the shirt! Recognising the online nature of ISTS40, we've teamed up with a global distributor to enable delegates to purchase a shirt from anywhere in the world. All profit from the sale of shirts goes directly towards the International Sea Turtle Society. Buy yours now in readiness for ISTS40!
UPDATE: Unfortunately the distributor used by Bonfire to deliver shirts has suspended its service to some countries, including Australia (see here for a list of affected countries). We are currently working on an alternative for people based in these affected countries and will provide an update soon.
