Should I register as…
AN Independent Delegate
Students should register as an independent delegate if they are one of the only students attending the conference from their school.
Independent Delegate Registration
The independent delegate fee covers the entire conference experience, access to pre-conference training materials, and two lunches during the conference.
The deadline to pay the independent delegate fee is October 15, 2026. If you do not meet this deadline, you must pay the late independent delegate fee by November 15, 2026.
Once students have successfully registered and paid their independent delegate fee, students will be assigned their conference committees and roles. Additionally, students will gain access to the pre-conference training materials.
INDEPENDENT DELEGATE FEE: $390
LATE INDEPENDENT DELEGATE FEE: $415
a school
Schools should register for the conference when multiple students (four or more) come from the same school.
School Registration
Each school is responsible for a single “school fee” that is paid immediately upon registration which secures your school’s spot in the conference. This fee includes the participation of up to two faculty advisers per school.
In addition to the school fee, schools must pay a school delegate fee for every student that attends the conference. The school delegate fee covers the entire conference experience, access to pre-conference training materials, and two lunches during the conference.
Schools must pay the school fee upon registration to confirm a spot in the conference, but can wait to pay the school delegate fees at a later date up until October 15, 2026. The late deadline for school delegate fees is November 15, 2026. Roles will not be assigned until the school fee and delegate fee are both paid.
SCHOOL FEE: $200
School DELEGATE FEE: $350
LATE School DELEGATE FEE: $375
