ZLuC 2024 Registration is now open (Google Form)!

There will be virtual opportunities to engage, but not synchronously (pre-recorded sessions and select day-of sessions will be recorded and posted after the event – more details to follow).

This year, we will be collecting a sliding-scale registration fee.  Suggested registration fees are on the form and below.  All payments can be made to Violet Fox via PayPal: paypal.com/paypalme/violetbfox; Venmo: @violetfox; Cashapp: $violetbfox.  Registration won’t be completed until payment is received.

ZLuC Housing:

Residence hall housing will be available at New York University’s Palladium Hall.  Housing dates are Friday 8/2 (check in) through Sunday 8/4 (check out).    

• This hall is located approximately 0.5 miles (0.8 km) from Washington Square Park ~15-20 minutes away
• Next to Union Square Subway Station – access to N/Q/R, 4/5/6, and L trains, as well as buses

Please indicate if you are interested in this option on the registration form and we will contact you separately about registration and payment.  You will be added to the resident hall reservation list and payment will be collected separately from ZLuC registration fees, and paid to NYU.

The cost is $130/night for a single. If you’re housing with your partner, it will be $170/night ($85/per person for a shared room).  NYU allows spouses that are attending the conference together to share rooms by having each participant reserve a shared space instead of a single space. The nightly rate for a shared space is $85 a night per person. This means that the housing cost of the participant and their spouse would be $170 per night.

The dorm style is multi-bedroom apartment suites. Each suite will have seven to nine single bedrooms (unless you’re staying with your partner), multiple bathrooms, a kitchen, and a large common area.  Palladium Hall Floor Plan (PDF on Google Docs),

• Participants will be placed in multi-bedroom apartment suites. Each suite will have 7 to 9 single bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, a kitchen, and a large common area.
