Author Registration Policy

An accepted paper will be published in the conference proceedings only if the following two conditions are met:

  1. Full registration by one of the paper’s authors is received and paid by May 15, 2026.  This policy is applicable for all accepted papers including but not limited to technical papers and Late News
  2. The author presents the paper in person at the conference venue.
     Not meeting both of the above requirements will result in the paper being flagged as “no show” and removed from publishing in the conference proceedings.

At least one author must be registered for all accepted papers. One registration covers one person and up to two papers from the same author. All authors who wish to attend the conference must register to attend.

Invitation Letters

IMPORTANT: Visa letters will only be issued once you have registered and paid all necessary fees.

The Conference cannot contact or intervene with any Embassy or Consulate office abroad on your behalf so please begin your visa application process as soon as you determine that you want to attend the DRC 2026. Please provide as much information as possible during registration to avoid delays in receiving your letter. You must register for the conference before requesting an invitation letter.

Please note that attendees who receive an invitation letter can not transfer or refund their registration.

Premier Registration

The Device Research Conference is pleased to offer a Premier Registration option, created for our corporate participants who wish to show their support to our device community. This support enables us to offer reduced registration fees that increased student participation. We’ve decided to take the difficulty out of traditional sponsorship paperwork and give corporate entities an easy way to support DRC simply by registering! Premier Registration is not required for any participant.
