Registration Tiers
The ACL Executive Committee has established three registration tiers. Each has an additional fee option for authors presenting papers. These fees cover the direct costs of presentation while keeping attendance more affordable for non-presenting authors and participants.
- Industry Pricing: For-profit organizations; highest tier; helps subsidize other categories.
- Academic / Regular Pricing: Universities and research institutions; standard tier for non-students.
- Student Pricing: Discounted tier for enrolled students; requires proof of status.

Authors Registered Paper Presentation Fees
(In addition to conference registration cost)
Author Register Paper (for presentation) Industrial/Non-Academic, Academic or Student. All Registration fees cover up to 2 accepted papers. Additional registration fees apply for any papers above 2.
At least one author of each accepted paper to an ACL conference (ACL, NAACL, EACL, AACL, or EMNLP) must register their paper to present at the conference. EACL 2026 requires all Findings papers to be presented (either in person or virtually). Exceptions to the statement above:
- Workshop shared task papers do not need to register their paper to present but if presenting must be registered for the conference.
Please note: All conference attendees must be registered to attend the conference. If an author is not registered, they will not be able to access the venue or Underline site.
Note that all Paper registration fees are based on the actual hard cost to the conference.
- In-person Register paper fee of $200 reflects the attendees’ hard costs of food & beverage (breaks, welcome reception, and social dinner) along with meeting space, av or poster presentation equipment.
- Virtual Register paper fees of $100 reflect the virtual costs (internet, AV, content management, platforms).
