Not much, just whatever you’re willing to carry. We do recommend you bring money if you are interested in purchasing TechOlympics or INTERalliance merchandise during the event. You may bring your laptop and cell phone but you may not bring a gaming system or any other electronic device. If you do bring a laptop or other electronic device, INTERalliance and TechOlympics assume no liability for any devices lost, stolen, or damaged during the conference. We provide laptops for use in most competitions and breakout sessions, however, there are some competitions that may ask you to provide your own device. Be sure to note this when signing up for the competitions.

We know that many of you are coming to TechOlympics to prepare for college or the summer internship program and we have created several sessions to help you with that goal. To identify these sessions, look through the agenda for sessions labeled “Intern Prep” or “Professional Development.” Also, visit our Sponsors at their Booths and Exhibits and during the Career Fair. This will help you immensely!

1. Attend all keynotes and the Awards Ceremony to understand what’s coming and to see if you won.
2. Attend at least one of the IT&U and Mock Interview Sessions to benefit from the intense networking opportunity.  
3. If you are interested in being a summer intern, look through the agenda for sessions labeled “Intern Prep.” These were created specifically to give you an edge for the program.  

We suggest that every TechOlympics registrant sign up for at least 1 competition. They are your opportunity to represent your school, put your knowledge/skills to the test, and have a lot of fun. Make sure you save time to attend the breakouts you’re most interested in, network with professionals in the Sponsorship Booths and meet new students in other activities. We plan to provide all materials for the competitions in advance and there will be a limit on attendees, due to these rules, we ask that you not sign up for competitions that you cannot make.

You do not need to register in advance for Keynote Sessions or Previews, but all other sessions will require pre-registration. This helps us with the logistics of the event as well as procurement as needed. Registration will occur within Whova.

Emails sometimes take 5-10 minutes to process. If you haven’t received an email after this time, first check your email’s spam folder to ensure our email didn’t get mistakenly sorted out by the filter.
Occasionally, email addresses provided by a school, company, ISP, or obscure email provider will not go through as well. If you encounter this problem, we suggest you use a Gmail account for your TechOlympics emails. However, if you’re experiencing chronic problems, feel free to contact us at [email protected].

We will not grant refunds to any “no-show” students who paid in full for TechOlympics. Refunds are not available if you miss TechOlympics due to other school obligations, scheduling mistakes, or personal or family-related events. You may only petition the TechOlympics Steering Committee for a refund if you must miss TechOlympics due to an unforeseeable family or medical emergency.

TechOlympics will proceed as planned even if there are school cancellations due to snow or extreme cold. We will permit students to arrive late or leave early in the event of snow or ice creating dangerous driving conditions, though our official start time will remain 9:00 AM both days and end time 5:00 on Saturday and 3:00 PM on Sunday. In the event of a weather emergency like a tornado, we will email all students, parents, school staff, and volunteers with information immediately.
