Rice University undergraduates who want to participate in InterfaceNeuro 2026 can have their registration waived by signing up to be a conference volunteer.

Rice Faculty and Staff - Please note that it is against university policy to use university P-cards to register for on-site conferences and events. We will need to work on an internal IDT for all registrations. Please use this form to complete your registration.
