Frequently Asked Questions
We know conferences can come with a lot of questions, so we’ve got you covered.
If you don’t see your question here, please reach out. We are here to support you every step of the way.
Can I register the day of the event?On-site registration may be available on the day of the event, depending on capacity. However, we strongly encourage attendees to register in advance to guarantee entry, receive full conference materials, and help us plan for an accurate number of participants.
If space allows, day-of registration will be located at the main check-in area, and staff/volunteers will be available to assist you.
How do I request accommodations?We are committed to ensuring that all attendees can fully participate in the conference. If you require any accommodations, please indicate your needs during the registration process.
If you have already registered or need to make a new request, you can also contact our conference team directly at info@newenglandmurcs.org so we can work with you in advance to ensure appropriate support is in place.
We encourage requests to be submitted as early as possible so we can best meet your needs.
Will photos or materials be shared?Yes! Conference photos and select materials (such as session resources or presentation slides, when provided by presenters) may be shared after the event. These will be made available to attendees when possible to support continued learning and engagement beyond the conference.
Please note that photos may also be taken throughout the event for documentation and promotional purposes. If you prefer not to be photographed, you can let a staff member know during check-in.
Can staff attend, or is this only for students?This conference is designed primarily with students in mind, but staff are absolutely welcome and strongly encouraged to attend. We’ve intentionally created space just for you. In addition to student-focused programming, we offer workshops designed specifically for staff, along with opportunities like our Staff Fellowship.
Are there public transportation options nearby?Yes! Downtown Boston is one of the most transit-accessible areas in the region. The conference site is within walking distance of multiple MBTA subway lines as well as several major stations like Downtown Crossing, Park Street, State Street, Government Center, and& South Station.
Attendees can also easily connect via commuter rail, bus lines, and direct transit options from Logan Airport. Getting to and from the conference should be simple, whether you're coming from across the city or outside of Boston.
Will there be staff or volunteers available throughout the day? Yes! There will be staff and volunteers available throughout the entire conference to support attendees. Our team will be on-site to help with check-in, answer questions, provide directions, and assist with any needs that come up during the day.
You’ll also see volunteers stationed at key points throughout the venue to help ensure sessions run smoothly and that everyone feels welcomed, supported, and informed from start to finish.
