How to Purchase your ISCR Membership
ISCR Membership is now managed by Conference Manager 2.0, a membership management application that is also used by other organizations. Due to this shared system, you may already have an existing account. Please review the instructions below carefully so as not to create duplicate user accounts.
Memberships have transitioned to a fixed-term structure, with all memberships now expiring on December 31st each year.
When using the system for the first time, new users will be asked to validate their profiles. You will only be asked to do this once. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we switch to the new system.
Option 1:
Adjust existing membership
ISCR has migrated to a new Membership software, therefore your renewal process will be a little different this year. If you are a current member of the International Society for Contemplative Research, please click the button below.
Because this is a new system, everyone needs to create a new user profile. On the landing page, select “create user profile” under the “New Users” heading. Once you have created your new user account, you can log-in to your Conference Manager Dashboard. These credentials will also be required for submitting an abstract.
The center tile of the dashboard will say Membership Enrollment – click the link that says, “Enroll Now”. Once you select the appropriate membership type, you will be able to apply a discount code related to any active membership status as communicated directly through email. You will then have the option to pay online with a VISA, Mastercard, American Express or Discover credit card via our secure payment processer. If you would prefer to pay via phone, fax, mail, or electronic funds transfer, you will find the necessary information in the form.
Option 2:
Renew or Join
If you are not a current member of ISCR, please click the button below and create an account. On the landing page, select “create user profile” under the “New Users” heading. After you create your account, you will use your email, and new password to log into the system. These credentials will also be required for submitting an abstract.
Once you have created your account, and logged in, you will be taken to your account dashboard. The center tile of the dashboard will say Membership Enrollment – click the link that says, “Enroll Now”.
