The below Frequently Asked Questions are primarily regarding registration; additional schedule information will be provided closer to the conference date. Join our mailing list to receive conference updates.
What is the cost to attend this conference?
For detailed pricing information for the conference, visit the Pricing page.
What type of payment options do you accept?
You can pay for the conference using a credit card.
If you are an educator you may also pay for the conference using a purchase order. If you would like to pay by Purchase Order, you will have 30 days from your registration date to complete your payment. After 30 days, your registration will be cancelled.
What day(s) should I register for?
Thursday, October 15, is for professional educators only. Friday, October 16, is open to the general public. Educators may attend both Thursday and Friday or register separately to attend only one of the days.
How do I join the Thursday conference waitlist? If Thursday is sold out, can I still register for the Friday conference?
If you are an educator, and are interested in joining the Thursday conference waitlist, we recommend you register now for the Friday conference to secure your spot.
If you are interested in joining the Thursday waitlist, please begin ILC registration and you will be able to join by selecting the Thursday conference option. To join the Friday conference, select the Friday conference option and continue to payment.
Should spots become available for the Thursday conference, we will notify attendees. At this time we do not know how many people we will be able to accommodate. Please note that in 2013 we were only able to accept two people off of the waitlist.
If there are multiple people from my organization coming to this conference, can we register as a group?
Yes, but only if you are educators. Non-educators must register individually.
Thursday's Professional Educators' Day is limited to five (5) registrants per school to ensure space is available for many different schools.
A 10% discount is available to groups of six (6) or more educators attending the Friday portion of the conference. For a group registration code, please contact Elizabeth Crowley at ilc@nuevaschool.org /
(650) 350-4518.
Is it possible to get a scholarship for the conference?
Limited full and partial scholarships are available, and will be considered on a rolling basis starting August 15, 2015. Application forms are available here.
Preference will be given to educators from neighboring public
school districts that qualify for Title I funding or have a
significant free and reduced lunch student population.
The conference (especially Thursday) will fill up quickly, so we recommend you register now and we can reimburse you if you qualify for a scholarship.
Can educators receive continuing education credit for this conference?
CEUs for the conference are available from St. Mary's College of California for $25 per .5 unit (5 hours of attendance), up to 1.5 units (for those attending both full days of the conference). Paperwork will be provided at registration.

I know that Nueva opened an Upper School — will there be sessions there?

If you are interested in attending sessions about high school education, please check the box on the attendee information page when you register. There is limited capacity at the Upper School, so please make sure you have indicated your interest.
All Friday sessions will be held at Nueva’s Hillsborough Campus.
