In order to attend in-person or online you MUST pre-register for Research Day. Same day or “walk-in” registration on April 11 cannot be accommodated.

I am only interested in attending a poster session. Do I still need to register?

I registered for Research Day but want to change my breakout session registration. How do I do that?
Don’t worry. You can attend any breakout session (in-person or online) that you want. We don’t require you to update your breakout registration. However, if you no longer plan to attend Research Day in-person, we would appreciate receiving notification (email [email protected]) as Research Day typically has a waiting list for in-person attendance.
Can I share the Research Day Zoom link with my friend who forgot to register?
No. Unfortunately that isn't an option. Research Day is a closed/private event. Access is limited to people who have pre-registered.
