Registration Rates 

All Conference Fees are in USD and include all taxes and fees. 

SoLAR has made a concerted effort to keep LAK registration rates to just cover costs as illustrated in the financial information provided during the Annual General Meetings. The LAK25 Organizing team in conjunction with SoLAR have worked very hard to keep the in person registration fee increases as low as possible, but still able to cover rising conference expenses due to inflation.

Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing many of the learning analytics community at LAK25.
