Payment Instructions

After registering your team with iGEM on the team registration page at iGEM 2020 Registration, you must complete the iGEM 2020 Payment Form.

Important Note

You will need your Team Code (see image below for location of the Team Code on your Team Information page), found on the Team Information page in order to complete the Payment Form.


Teams can check their payment status through the Cvent payment site at TBD. The Cvent payment site is not linked to the iGEM records, and the registration fee status on team profile pages is manually updated. As a result, it may take a few days for payment to be reflected on a team's profile page. Please wait two business days before contacting iGEM HQ to see if your payment has been received.

You need to pay your team registration fee before your team application will be accepted. Paying the team fee is part of the registration process and your team will not be accepted until the fee has been paid.
