Registration
Please register (separately from submitting an abstract) on the Loughborough event booking system here: https://store.lboro.ac.uk/conferences-and-events/communication-and-media/upcoming-events/ca-day-2023
In person registration is open on a first come, first served basis but (unless you are submitting a paper), but we only have space for 70 people this year, so make sure you register soon!
Once we have reached capacity, you can join the waiting list. Normally a number of registrants withdraw before the conference, and we allocate their places to those waiting. Most withdrawals happen close to the conference date, though, so you may not be sure about a place for some time.
Attendance costs:
- In-person: £25, or £20 for students/unwaged, which pays for refreshments and the evening reception, but not lunch.
- Online-only: £5, which helps to pay for other event costs and for someone to look after the stream/questions etc.
#CakeOff2023
We would also like to invite you to participate in the grand CA Day #CAkeOff2023 competition, which will be held in hybrid format again this year.

For those planning on participating in the competition in-person, please bring your cakes to CA day where our fabulous keynotes Charlotte Albury, Eric Laurier, and Geoff Raymond will judge, along with enthusiastic participation from all other CA Day in-person delegates.
For those participating online, we invite you to participate by sending a 5-10 second naturalistic video clip of someone eating your cake to our esteemed online #CAkeOff2023 judge Sally Wiggins (sally.wiggins.young@liu.se). Please make sure to capture the cake recipient’s responses (e.g., gustatory ‘mms’, lip smacks, or, perish the thought, ‘yucks’). Please send in your videos before CA day to provide adequate time for judging. Grand prizes will be awarded during the closing ceremony!
