Frequently Asked Questions

I keep getting a message to verify my email; how do I register?
In order to register, you’ll need to create a free Submittable account which will then require you to verify your email before you can submit your registration. This is to ensure you will receive your confirmation email. Please check your Junk Email folder or Spam folder if you don’t receive the verification email in a timely manner.

If I register as a student, will I still be listed as a presenter/performer?
Yes, all students should register as students as it is the lowest rate available to them. Registering as a student will not affect your status as presenter or performer.
