Yesterday, I was told that conference registration for #MPMI2025 is actually cheaper than last time and that people should stop complaining. Here are the prices 2023 (left) and 2025 (right) from the Societies' official webpage. Am I overlooking something? To me, 2025 looks way more expensive. - ThreadSky

Cheaper for postdoc and student society members 🤷‍♀️

If you chose your own accomodation*

Gaslighting in perfection 👌
And I didn't even mention the additional cost to be allowed to submit an abstract.

Oh but that is not new either, i had that before 🤔. Not sure it was 35 euros.TBH i had simply expected the meeting to be expensive…didnt think that anything gets any cheaper

Not getting cheaper is one thing. $1289 and then tell people it's cheaper is another.

actually, i find it fair to try maintaining decreased prices for students / postdocs and offer a cheaper option for junior PIs. I have to pay the full member rate and i am ok with paying ~USD 60 more now when this helps to increase the attendance of more junior people and attract members 🤷‍♀️

Fair enough but the information i actually got is that it is cheaper for members (postdoc and student). Since the membership is $80/35/20, i think the non-member rate is redundant
