The Final Programme is now available!
With 5 stimulating keynotes, covering the theme from a diverse variety of angles, several special sessions and many parallel session panels, we invite you to participate in a reflection on revolutions and the possibilities for transformative politics today.
Attendance requires registration. For non-presenters, special day rates and discounted rates for students and those on lower incomes of $20.00 per day are available.
Please register on or before 24th September 2017 as spaces are limited and we need to plan the catering.
Looking forward to three days of revolutionary conversations.
The Conference Organising Committee.
Registration Opens for
‘Revolutions’ Conference
Registration is now open for the ‘Revolutions’ conference. More information will shortly be posted with our newsletter. Not on our list? Sign up here. Early bird registration continues until August 31, 2017, so don’t miss out!
Registration is a two-step process. First, you need to join the Geopolitical Economy Society (GES), and then when you are a member, you can register for the conference.
Membership entitles you to other benefits, in particular discounted rates for books relating to our work including those in the Geopolitical Economy Books series and the Future of World Capitalism series. We will let you know as soon as this facility is ready; your membership will last until August 31, 2018 so you will not miss out by joining now. There are three membership rates: full ($100), concessionary ($50) and student ($30). We have no institutional funding, so we rely on you to pick the appropriate rate.
Conference registration fees includes a full lunch on each of three days, two coffee breaks and a reception. There are two registration rates for participants: early bird (until August 31, $150) and late ($200).
‘One-day’ registration provides a special rate for folks that are not presenting papers, especially students and residents of Winnipeg. This also entitles you to two coffee breaks and a full lunch as well as the Friday reception. You can register for as many single days as you want. Note that the plenary sessions (the ones with keynote speakers) are open to the public, as will be an opening plenary on Thursday evening. Interested Winnipeg residents may attend conference panels free of charge if they opt to forgo lunch, coffee breaks and other refreshments. Donations from such attendees are welcome and much appreciated.
We are also organising a conference banquet on Saturday night; we are currently in the process of finalizing the details of the banquet, but when we do we will release the details. It will probably cost about $50 for an excellent meal and, we hope, entertainment.
