GECCO-2000 Conference Registration Form

This year, there is a newly created INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR GENETIC AND EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION. By joining ISGEC at this time, you can get a substantial savings on conference registration, as well as subscriptions to two journals: EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION and GENETIC PROGRAMMING AND EVOLVABLE MACHINES.

Note you can also join ISGEC without attending GECCO.

The journal subscriptions are effective January 1, 2001 - if you already subscribe to either of these journals, your subscription(s) will be automatically renewed for 2001 with your ISGEC membership dues.

Please complete the following form and mail to the following address:
