What if I have dietary restrictions?

We will request dietary restriction information on the registration form. If you believe your dietary needs are unusual, please contact us and we will work to accommodate you.

What should I wear to the conference?

The conference has no dress code, and we encourage students to be comfortable. There will be a reception and dinner on Friday evening and a plated banquet on Saturday evening, and many students enjoy dressing up for these events. You may wish to look at photos of previous conferences to see what students typically wear. The winter in Rochester can be very cold with large amounts of snow at times. Please be sure to check the forecast and dress appropriately. A warm winter coat, scarf and gloves, hat, and shoes adequate for the snow are highly recommended.

Will there be resources available for attendees with disabilities?

We will request information on disability status on the registration form. Please contact us in advance if you have unusual requirements, and we will work to accommodate you.

I have anxiety, depression, etc, and I am worried about attending this conference. What should I do?

Please contact us if you are comfortable so we are aware<contact info>. We will encourage you to try your best during the networking opportunities, but if you need to be paired up with someone you know (either in rooming or meals), please let us know so we can try to accommodate you. We hope that you will be able to comfortably attend the conference and get something from it, but we understand that everyone needs to go at their own pace.
