ISA Annual Convention, New Orleans, 2010

Welcome and thank you for your interest in our convention.

Account Access

If you have a MyISA account, go ahead and log in, you will find a "Conferences" link under which is the New Orleans conference.
If you are NEW to MyISA, creating an account is free. Click on the "Create an Account" link to register. There is no charge, we simply do this to provide you with one place where you can interface with ISA. Once you sign in as a MyISA user, you can view your submissions as well as the full conference program. You can also register for the conference.
If you FORGOT YOUR Username/Password MyISA will help you. Click the "Forgot Username/Password" link below the login box. The system will ask you for your email address and whether you need a password reset link or your username. Just select accordingly and click Ok.

Viewing the Program

After you log in, click on the "Convention: New Orleans, 2010" link on the home page. From here, click "View Program."
Your personal program is under the "My Program" tab.

Using My Program

My Program is a great new feature from ISA. To access it, click the "My Program" tab when you are looking at the full conference program or your submissions list.
My Program will always list any items you appear on and will allow you to see details about your panel. You can view titles and abstracts of the other papers on your panel, the time, and see your discussant and chair.
You can add items to My Program. This is the real power of this feature. When you are browsing the full program, you will notice small green + icons next to each item. If you click on these, that item (or its parent item in the case of papers on panels) will be added to your "My Program" list. This allows you to "flag" conference presentations you find interesting or that you don't want to miss. You can then print your personalized program by clicking the "Print My Program" link on the "My Program" tab. This will lay out a print-ready page for you to bring with you to the conference.

Registration

You MUST register for the conference. Due to the conference being a month earlier than usual this year, we have much less time to get the program finalized. One big part of this is making sure everyone on the program has registered. If you are not registered, you will be dropped from the program.
Member Registration: ISA members pay reduced registration fees. However, to register as a member, you MUST BE A MEMBER AT THE TIME OF THE CONFERENCE. MyISA will look at your registration history and give you your membership options accordingly. If you are a member but do not see "Member" or "Student Member" as an option, it is because your membership expires by the time of the conference. You will have to renew before you can register at the reduced rate.
Realize that you will save money by becoming a member before you register. In the case of student members, the costs and savings are such that an online membership is effectively free. Be sure to consider membership before registering for the conference.
