Frequently Asked Questions
If case you have any unanswered questions, please reach out to our Indigo Research team via hello@indigoresearch.org
I’d love to sign up – how do I register, and what is the deadline to reserve my place?
Please register here by August 22, 2025 in order to ensure your place at the conference for the chance to present and receive 2 UCSB college credits. If you register after the deadline, your presentation place is not guaranteed.
How do I know I am eligible to receive 2 UCSB college credits?
Only Indigo students who have completed their research can attend and present at the conference. Students will receive grades and then be informed by May 15, 2025 whether they have received 2 UCSB college credits. This is an additional add-on to your Indigo package that must be purchased through your Indigo team. If you are still halfway through your Indigo program, you’ll have the opportunity to sign up for the next credit-granting conference to be held in September 2025!
I want to attend but I am not available September 13-14 – what do I do?
Not a problem! The Indigo Academic Conference is held 2 times/year – the next one will be held in February 2026. You will hear about the February conference in the future if you do not attend in September.
