Membership: Membership is required to register for and attend the annual conference. Becoming a member of GCA will help support our mission to foster communication inquiry as a means to understand our world and further communication education in Georgia. Membership lasts for one year from the date of purchase. Students pay no fee for membership. All other faculty and professionals pay either regular membership or can choose to select patron membership to offer additional support for GCA awards.

Registration: Registration is required for conference attendees, and it provides access to all conference panels, sessions, meetings, and the film festival. Attendees will also have light refreshments available in the morning and lunch provided on Friday. Registration for the conference is free to students. All other attendees pay the same rate. Afterwards, registration will be accepted through the first day of the event at full rate.

Dinner: Select this optional add-on if you would like to join us for dinner on Friday evening, to coincide with the Film Festival viewing and awards. The fee for this dinner is $25 and applies to students and all other attendees.

FOR YOURSELF: Select the ‘Register Me’ product and customize it for your own membership, registration, and conference dinner level. You will be asked to provide your information once, since everything applies to you.

FOR ADDITIONAL ATTENDEES: To register additional colleagues, students, or guests, select a ‘Register Others’ product and add it to your cart for each extra attendee. You will be asked to provide a name for each product, allowing you to register for several people with varying choices for each.
