Natural Hazards Workshop Registration
Thank you so much for your interest in the 51st Annual Natural Hazards Workshop! When registration opens, participants will be able to purchase registration for the Workshop, Researchers Meeting, Practitioners Meeting, add-on events, and meals. Registrations for all three meetings are separate, but submitted on the same form. Registration pricing is listed below.
Registration Will Open in Early 2026
Registration Information
All Workshop sessions will be held in person at the Omni Interlocken Hotel in Broomfield, Colorado. All participants, including those listed on the program, must register for the meeting or meetings that they will attend.
The registration fee covers materials, facilities, receptions, and coffee breaks. You'll have the opportunity to purchase meals and sign up for additional events like the annual barbecue when registering. The Natural Hazards Workshop is capped at 750 registrants. This is due to space limitations and also to maintain the character of the meeting. We will close registration when we reach the cap, so please register as early as possible!
