2025 Registration

Conference Registration Instructions

In most cases, a project director or staff member will complete the registration process on behalf of attendees for that program. This person is defined as the primary registrant during the registration process. After completing the primary registrant's information, click Add Additional Registrant to add information for each student and/or staff member in your group.

To complete the registration process, you will be required to submit the following information for each registrant: Full name, gender, race/ethnicity and email address. Having this information available in a spreadsheet will be helpful during the registration and payment steps.

Groups should be registered all at once, in one submission. Please do not submit multiple registration records for a single group. Individual attendees who will not attend the conference with a group may submit a single registration record.

If you need to make changes to an existing registration, email your changes to ugconf-research@buffalo.edu.
