Overall Conference
Where will the conference registration take place?
Registration for the National Center for Student Leadership conference will be in the lower level of the Buena Vista Palace Hotel & Spa.
What should I wear?
The recommended dress during the conference is casual yet respectful. Remember, you are representing your organization and school while at the conference. We recommend nice jeans, khakis, and school logo apparel. Hotel meeting rooms tend to be on the chilly side, so you may want to bring layers.
How will I know which workshops to attend?
It’s entirely up to you. We have a wide variety of workshops available and we encourage you to attend workshops on topics you’re interested in. We have also created workshop tracks to guide you in your decisions. Check out the workshops and track descriptions here.
Should I bring business cards?
Definitely. It’s a great way to keep in touch with the other National Center for Student Leadership participants and presenters after the conference. There are many websites available on which you can create your own business cards if they aren’t provided by your organization.
I’ve been to the conference more than once, is there a way I can get more involved?
Yes, thanks for asking. We would love to have you get more involved. Contact us at ncslsupport@magnapubs.com to learn how.
I’m the only one from my school attending the conference – will it be hard to meet people?
You will be fine! You won’t be the only “single” person there. And remember, the National Center for Student Leadership conference is designed for getting to know people from across the country – sharing ideas, brainstorming, and learning together.
What should I bring?
Bring with you a positive attitude and knowledge of ideas, events, or programs that work for your college or university. If you meant “what tangible items should I bring?,” then our answer would be business cards, a notebook (although some notepaper is provided – and pens!), and a school or organization shirt to show off school pride. You can also bring a camera, your computer, and anything else you need to get by for four days.
How many people will be at the conference?
We’re expecting over 400 participants to attend the National Center for Student Leadership conference in Lake Buena Vista.
Will I get more information about the conference as it draws nearer?
Yes! You can make that possible by clearing the suffix “@ncslmail.com” with your email provider. We’ll send you periodic update emails as the conference nears.
