Faqs

What if I missed the registration deadline?

Due to the unique nature of the conference and its carefully coordinated event schedules, we are unable to accommodate late registration for the full conference. PLEASE NOTE: Many conference events have a participation cap so we recommend registering early to reserve your spot! SHIFT 2024 Conference registration closes at 12:00 AM (CDT) on February 2nd, 2024, or when sold out.

What is the conference attire?

Business or business-casual attire is highly encouraged. You will be meeting with professionals, educators, and peers from across the United States. First impressions count!

What if I need to cancel my registration?

The deadline for cancellations is Thursday, January 31th, 2024. Please contact the IIDA Texas Oklahoma Chapter Administrator, Megan Romboletti, for cancellation requests.

I’m an educator. Can I attend the conference and also take CEU courses?

Yes, you can! Visit the CEU Registration page (coming soon) for more information — registration for CEUs is separate from conference registration.

I’m a professional. How can I volunteer for this event or attend the Keynote speaker?

We have registration (coming soon) open for our industry professionals who would like to volunteer, take CEUs, or attend the Keynote speech.

I attended last year and want to tour a different firm this year. Is that possible?

All tours are dependent on which companies volunteer to host our conference participants. We cannot guarantee which virtual tour locations will be assigned to attendees. We do have a section included in registration that asks for your previous tour assignments. We do try to take this into consideration.

How do I register for the charrette competition?

Participation in the charrette competition is by invitation only. Faculty Sponsors of active IIDA Campus Centers will receive an invitation by email to nominate two students to participate in this event. Information on how to be a Campus Center can be found on the IIDA website. You can also contact the IIDA Texas Oklahoma Chapter VP of Campus Centers, Johnathan Kircus, for more information.

I’m a student. Can I attend the events that are for professionals only?

The professional events offered at SHIFT, like the CEU courses and Roundtables, are reserved for educators, designers, and other practicing professionals. We encourage you to make plans to attend these at a future conference as a practicing professional.

Who do I talk to if I need assistance during the conference?

Contact iidatxok.shift@gmail.com for any issues. The conference chairs and event coordinators will also be participating in each event and are available to assist as needed.
