General Information & Policy

Introduction

Welcome to the conference! 

The registration check-in starts from 2 pm on Thursday, June 26, 2025. The first dinner starts at 5 pm. The first main session starts at 7 pm. Your name badge is required to enter the auditorium for the general sessions. This requirement is for security. We encourage you to wear your badge all the time while you participate in the program. Below are the instructions about Onsite Check-In, Meals, Parking and UBF Office. Please review the page for Location & Housing if you need information on the conference buildings.

Onsite Check-In

If you arrive before dinner at 5 pm, please go to Atrium in the Damen Student Center (#13). You will find the UBF registration booth in the lobby. The booth will be open from 2 pm to 5 pm. You will receive all necessary materials for the conference such as your name badge and wristband. If you arrive later, UBF Office will manage registration for late comers, which will announce its operation later. After UBF Check-in, for those staying in Loyola's Francis Hall, proceed to check-in there to receive a key card, physical room key and overnight parking permit for parking lot (P1). 

Meals

The Damen Dining Hall is in Damen Student Center (#13). Your admission fee includes nine meals: Thursday dinner through Sunday lunch. All meals are buffet style. Their menus will be posted as they become available. You need a wristband for access to the dining hall. Please make sure you get it during the check-in. Below is the top view of the dining hall.

Parking

The cost of parking is included in the admission fee. The Loyola University parking lot (P1) is next to Damen Student Center. The gates will be open 24 hours a day from Thursday to Sunday of the conference. Those staying overnight in the Francis Hall dorm will receive an overnight parking permit to hang in their car. See the map on Location & Housing. 

UBF Office

The office is open to everyone during the conference. Its location and schedule will be determined. Its phone number is 224-382-5022, which takes calls only during the hours of operation. You are welcome to leave a message either by voice or text when nobody answers. Office managers answer them during office hours, depending on the contents.

The office provides you with many services. For example, the office assists you with registration (Note. Detailed process will be announced later). Some wonder if their friends from other chapters will attend the conference. Some lose their precious belongings. The office staff can answer these inquiries to the best of their abilities. The office also provides conference managers with its place and equipment even outside the hours of operation. Please contact the manager Alinne Tapia should any manager need to do so.
