ID is required, but all ages are welcome at this event and we strongly encourage young people to attend.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to increased security measures on Columbia’s campus, it is important that you register. Policies around off campus guests have become more restricted. You can ensure you will get into the conference by registering for free.
10. Do you have suggestions for hotels or have special rates with hotels?
Unfortunately, we do not have discounts with local hotels for the conference. Here is a list of hotels suggested by Columbia to guests. The conference will take place uptown, between 116th and Broadway and 122nd and Amsterdam.
