Registration Guidelines

To register for the ICDX, please use our online registration platform by clicking the button below

This electronic payment system is the preferred method for registering, where we can accept any of the major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Amex, Discover). Dipterists with US banks can also use direct debit (ACH) in this payment system.

Alternative registration payment methods:

For all alternative registration payment methods, you will need to fill out the ICDX Registration Form and send it to us at icdx@dipterists.org.

1. To pay by direct bank wire transfer, please select the "Please send an invoice and direct wire transfer instructions" box at the bottom. Note, this invoice will include our bank's $15 wire transfer fee.


2. To pay by Paypal, LET US KNOW BY EMAIL that you want a Paypal invoice (use the same form, but do not check either box at the bottom). Note, this invoice will include Paypal's fees (domestic 1.99% + $0.49; international 3.49% + $0.49).


3. To pay by check or money order (payable in US$ to "North American Dipterists Society"), please select the "Make Check or money order payable..." box at the bottom. Please email the form to us and mail the form with the check or money order to:

   Chris Borkent, Treasurer

   P.O. Box 231113
   Sacramento, California 95823, USA

4. If the above payments methods do not work, or if you are having problems, we can arrange other payment methods on a case-by-case basis. To inquire, please email us at icdx@dipterists.org.
