So you want to attend the GAINS conference?  Follow these steps!

STEP 1: Teachers, register your school   HERE

Teachers, please complete the school registration form on behalf of yourself and up to 8 girls from your school. Please indicate the number of students you plan to bring to the event. You DO NOT need to know the names and email addresses of attendees at the time of registration. If you do not know which students will attend, you can complete the school registration process and then return to the site to add specific student email addresses by October 13th.

Fees: $300/student, $50/teacher

Once you have registered, you are committing to those spots.  We are unable to provide refunds for changes in student numbers after October 13.

STEP 2:  Payment Information 

Once school registration is complete, an email confirming your school's registration will be sent and an invoice will be generated and emailed to the teacher. 

Teachers, please print the email and follow the payment instructions.   You will remit your group's payment to Greenwich Academy by check.

*Financial Aid: GAINS is able to offer limited financial aid in the form of fee waivers and travel grants for students and teachers who qualify. Be sure to indicate on the registration form if you would like to request financial aid.  If you select this option during registration, we will follow-up with you directly via email.

STEP 3:  Session Registration 

End of October

EACH CONFERENCE ATTENDEE (both students and teachers) will be sent a unique email link so they can register for their individual sessions during this time period. These are first-come, first-serve, so act quickly! Attendees who do not select sessions during the open period will be assigned sessions based on what is available. Offerings for STEM tours and technical talks will be published and emailed out in early October.

Parent Coordination:

Parents will receive a DocuSign link as the conference approaches with a photo release form.
