Researchers Slam Conference Registration Cap: Only One Presenting Author Per Paper
tallinzen · x · 2026-09-08
Researchers including Andrew G. Wilson are criticizing a conference registration policy for the Sydney main event: he turned down multiple satellite workshop invites assuming he'd attend the main conference, only to find registration allows just one presenting author per paper — meaning student co-authors can't attend at all. Tallin Zen adds that networking with senior researchers was long a core value of attending conferences, and if senior people stay away, that value evaporates. The thread reflects growing academic frustration with restrictive registration policies.
