How do I register?
Registration is open! Please register here no later than September 6. Check the conference website often for additional registration updates.
Can I register onsite?
Onsite registration will be available, but we encourage you to register in advance. This will speed up your check-in process and help us to better estimate attendance at conference events.
When will the conference begin and end?
Programming will begin in the early afternoon on Thursday, September 19, and will conclude with an after-dinner program on Saturday, September 21. There will be no programming held on Sunday, September 22.
Do I need to attend the full conference?
While we encourage everyone to attend the full conference, there is no requirement to do so. Conference registration and name badge pick-up will be available throughout the weekend. It is fine to come for any portion of the conference that you can attend.
Do I have to attend all the events I select on the registration form? If I change my mind about a session, do I need to notify you?
When completing the registration form, you will be asked to select which sessions you are interested in attending to assist us in gauging guest counts. Once you are on campus, you are welcome to attend any part of the program regardless of whether you pre-registered for that session. If you decide you want to attend a different session after you have already registered, there is no need to notify us.
Will any of the conference sessions be recorded and/or livestreamed?
We will be recording selected sessions during the conference. These videos will be available several weeks after the conference on the Every Voice website. More information will be forthcoming.
I would like to suggest an alumni speaker for the conference. Who do I contact?
The conference schedule is very full already, but we are always interested in hearing about compelling alumni even though we may not have a place for them in the Every Voice conference schedule. If you have a suggestion, please email eventmgr@princeton.edu.

My class, regional association or other group wants to host a gathering during the Every Voice conference. How do I go about doing this?
The Every Voice conference schedule is very full. While we appreciate the desire to host smaller gatherings during the conference, we are unable to support the planning of these events. You are welcome to organize smaller gatherings on your own, such as a pre-conference lunch on Thursday, September 19, meeting for drinks following the conclusion of programming on the evenings of Thursday, September 19 or Friday, September 20, or a post-conference breakfast on Sunday, September 22.

Parking on campus is limited, especially on weekdays as school will be in session during this event. We encourage you to take advantage of mass transit and hotel shuttles, and carpool whenever possible. Specific campus parking locations available for the conference will be posted in the resources section of the Every Voice website in August.
How will dietary restrictions be handled during the event?
On the registration form, you will be asked to share any dietary restrictions you have. This information will be shared with our caterers in advance of the event, and they will be prepared to address all restrictions. At the sit-down meals, please review the printed menu at your table, and share your restriction with your server if a special meal is needed. At buffet-style or grab-and-go events, stationary items will be labeled, and servers will be able to answer questions about the food available.

If your plans have changed and you will no longer be able to join us on campus for Every Voice, please email eventmgr@princeton.edu to let us know and we will cancel your registration.
