Registration Process

Please use our step-by-step instructions below to register for a pre-conference workshop.

Please review the descriptions of the conference workshops before you begin registration.

All pre-conference workshops require advance registration.

Before you begin your registration, log into your MANY profile. Your username is your email address. If you forgot your password, there will be an option to reset it. If you do not have a MANY profile, you will be prompted to create one as part of your registration process. 

You can check your MANY membership status here and click here to renew to access the MANY member rate. If you have any questions or difficulties, please email us at info@nysmuseums.org.

New this year: Pre-conference registrations are separate from general conference registration. You do not need to be registered for the conference in order to register and participate in a pre-conference workshop. 

If you plan on attending the full conference, click here to register for the conference first.

Full conference attendees can register for a pre-conference workshop at a reduced rate using a code to register at the "Full Conference Attendee" registration type.

Refunds requested after April 1 will not be granted, including requests made based on absence due to illness, late arrival and/or weather conditions. No refunds will be issued on special event tickets at any point due to restaurants and caterers requiring payment in advance; you are welcome to give or sell them to a colleague attending the conference.
