Covid Considerations
UC Tech will be conducted following prevailing UC San Diego guidelines. All attendees will be provided one KN95 mask and one rapid test kit for optional use. UC San Diego personnel should complete the daily symptom screener each day before coming to campus. Other attendees, please use your organization’s equivalent, or conduct a brief self-assessment.
In general, if you’re not feeling good or are experiencing symptoms, please stay in your room. All sessions will be livestreamed. Learn more about our policies:

Personal Schedule & Session Access
Last week we made some configuration changes to our registration and event platform. This may affect sessions you previously signed up for (especially virtual-only ones). Henceforth, just ignore the session signups. On-campus sessions will be open on a first-come, first-served basis. Also, we can’t guarantee that a personalized schedule you previously made online will still be visible. If you have favorite sessions you’re excited to attend, please make your list offline and bring it with you. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Campus Field Trips - Sign-ups Remain Open
We have interactive and informative Campus Field Trips planned for Wednesday afternoon. Check out the details below and follow the instructions to sign up:

Making the Most of a Hybrid Conference
Remember that UC Tech is a hybrid conference. About half the workshops are virtual only. If you'd like to attend those, remember to bring a device and headphones. Learn more about the virtual platform:
