FAQs:

How do I register?

  • Early registration opened on October 15, 2024. Go to https://yis2025summit.sched.com/. You will need a code to access the registration page. That code will be sent by email to all registered YIS students before the Summit registration opens. Watch your email for the code! It will be easiest to register on a computer browser, rather than on a mobile device.

Is there a cap on the number of students each chapter can bring?

  • No, but it is first come, first serve and each student must register individually. The only cap is on the discount.  For example, if you bring 10 students, each students gets the same discount as if 8 students were coming ($500/8=62, so each student from a group of 8 or more pays $62 each). 
  • If you are coming with a group of students from ONE chapter, school or program, email Maria Miles (mariamiles@yis.org) BEFORE October 15 for a group code to use during checkout.

Are stock pitch winners still invited to the Summit?

  • Yes! The top 100 teams will be invited to join the 3 rounds of stock pitch competition at the Summit. If you don’t register now, but qualify later, you will be able to register then.

If I to participate in the Global Stock Pitch Competition and place in the top 100, would I still need to pay to secure my spot at the Summit?

  • Yes, but you will get the early registration pricing. If you want to ensure your spot no matter what happens in the stock pitch competition, register early!

If I register now, does that mean I am automatically in the Global Stock Pitch Finals at GYIS?

  • No, registering now secures your spot at GYIS and allows  you to participate in all the workshops, networking, case study, and other new competitions at the event. But for the Global Stock Pitch competition, you will still need to qualify to compete in the final 3 rounds of competition at the Summit.

Should we fundraise to cover the cost of registration and travel?

  • Yes! This is a great opportunity to exercise your financial skills and find ways to finance this event. 

What does the registration cost cover?

  • The registration cost secures your spot at the Summit from May 29-30, 2025. The cost of travel and accommodations are separate and the responsibility of each participant.

Are the dates flexible? What if I have to miss AP tests/graduation/sports/etc.?

  • No, these dates are set. Please consider everything in your schedule and choose what to participate in based on your priorities. Please only register for the Summit if you are committed to attending.

I registered for the Summit but now I have a conflict/changed my mind/can’t attend. Can I get a refund?

I registered but I don’t see my schedule on the app, what’s going on?
