Student Registration

Registration for the 2009 International SFL Conference involves two steps.

1. Students must apply to be accepted to the conference. Due to space and funding constraints we are unable to accept every student interested in attending the conference. The application is online and may be completed here. Please take your time to seriously complete your application. In 2008, 140 students applied for 100 slots. As well, early applications have a much greater likelihood of being accepted than later applications. We are openly biased towards students who show their interest and dedication in attending the conference.

Applications will be reviewed according to the following schedule:

Deadline 1: November 30th, Decisions by December 8th

Deadline 2: December 31st, Decisions by January 5th

Deadline 3: January 23rd, Decisions by January 31st

FINAL Deadline: February 7th, Decisions by February 10th

2. Once students are accepted, you will have 2 weeks to pay the registration fee and complete the registration. To incentivize early applications, any student who applies for the conference in 2008 (before 11:59pm on December 31, 2008) will only be charged a $25 registration fee. All students who apply in 2009 will be charged a $50 registration fee. Note: this is based on the time of applying, not the time of acceptance.

Non-Student Registration

The International SFL Conference does accept non-student participants. Non-students must also apply to participate in the conference and pay a higher price for registration because this conference is primarily for students.

1. Non-students must apply to be accepted to the conference. Applications are online and may be completed here.

Important Note: Since there are a limited number of slots available for non-students, preference is given to employees of sponsoring organizations and organizations participating in the conference’s liberty fair.

2. Once non-students are accepted, you will have 2 weeks to pay the registration fee and complete the registration. To incentivize early applications, any non-student who applies for the conference by 11:59pm on January 16th will only be charged a $100 registration fee. All non-students who apply after this date will be charged a $200 registration fee. Note: this is based on the time of applying, not time of acceptance.
