  A Note on Registration Fees:

  Since 2020’s transition to virtual events due to COVID-19, NYTSL has been offering our programming both online and free of charge. Luckily, NYTSL had enough funds to continue offering free programming through 2021 and 2022. However, in order to provide honoraria to our invited speakers as well as cover the cost of website operations, we will need to resume program registration fees.

  Especially since NYTSL will continue to offer programming in a virtual environment, our updated fees are significantly lower than they were for our pre-pandemic in-person programs:

  Member: $6.00 (updated fee) vs. $15.00 (pre-pandemic)
  Student member: $5.00 (updated fee) vs. $10.00 (pre-pandemic)
  Non-member: $15.00 (updated fee) vs. $40.00 (pre-pandemic)

  If you would like to attend our virtual programming with a group of co-workers, please purchase one registration and make a suggested donation of $6 for each additional viewer.
