Sessions, tours, mentor meetings, FAM trips, parties, and more. It’s all here!

WITS Attendees: Once you register for WITS, you’ll be sent a login from Sched, which you can use to create and manage your own personal schedule. Nothing you add to your personal Sched is binding, and adding something to your Sched does not automatically register you for it. If a session/activity requires pre-registration, it will be noted in its description. Check out our Attendee Guide to learn more. Additionally, we may add or change sessions/activities – so keep checking back.
