Conference Fees and Registration
ECI conferences are designed as fully immersive experiences, with hotel accommodations and meals included in the registration fee to foster collaboration, informal discussion, and meaningful engagement among participants. In support of this model, ECI maintains a contractual commitment with its conference hotels to provide lodging and meals for all attendees.
Conference Fees and Registration information will be available in August 2026.
Student Rates
- ECI provides discounted registration rates for bona fide graduate students in exchange for onsite logistics support such as audio visual (AV) and speaker coordinator(s), on-site registration check-in support, microphone runners, photographers, etc.
- ECI will email all students one week prior to the start of the conference to ask for on-site help preferences. We appreciate your participation and support!
