WE21 registration will open by June 1, 2021. All registration services will be provided by Convention Data Services (CDS). The only authorized registration site for WE21. To obtain help with your registration, please email SWE@xpressreg.net or call 774.247.4026.
The registration portal is divided into four categories: Professional, Collegiate, Exhibitor, and Invent It. Build It. (including programs for high school, middle school, parents, and educators):
Attendee Type – All post-graduate attendees, speakers, press members, and any non-collegiate or non-exhibitor are considered professional. This may include active career, retired, unemployed, STEM Reentry Task Force, or other categories within this type. Both members and non-members may register here.
- Promo Codes – Only one promo code per attendee can be used for professional registration.
- Member Status – All SWE memberships coincide with our fiscal year. Attendees must have an FY22 (07/01/2021 to 6/30/2022) membership before registering for WE21 to receive discounted member pricing during WE21 registration. An FY22 SWE membership is included with non-member registration types; those who purchase a non-member registration type will receive a code to get a membership shortly after registration. Any membership purchased through WE21 registration is non-refundable. It is the individual’s responsibility to register with the correct username and password associated with their primary membership account to avoid duplicate membership purchases.
- Career Fair Access – FY22 members will receive priority access to the WE21 Career Fair. There will be non-member hours for those who do not have a membership.

Note: Any solicitation by non-exhibitors (with the exception of special sponsors approved by SWE) will not be tolerated and violators will be asked to leave the building.
Attendee Type – This includes all students in middle school and high school, parents, and educators. IIBI program attendees are at the Outreach EXPO in the morning and programming in the afternoon. Outreach EXPO exhibitors needing badges would register here as well.
