Common questions
How can I get registered?
Complete the Request to Attend form. Commons is an exclusive event for Presidents, Provosts, and CFOs, and attendees are confirmed to ensure a high-quality peer experience. If confirmed, the CollegeVine team will reach out with next steps on booking travel.
What's covered?
CollegeVine covers accommodations, travel, all meals during the event, and activities.
Who else will be there?
Commons Boca brings together a select group of university Presidents, Provosts, and Chief Financial Officers.
Can I bring a plus one?
Commons Boca is limited to senior higher education presidents and chief financial officers to maintain an intentionally curated, focused format that maximizes learning and collaboration. We’re not able to accommodate attendees outside that profile.
If you’d like to invite a colleague who fits the attendee profile, please include their information in the “Referrals” section of the registration form—they’ll need to submit their own request to attend.
Personal guests are welcome to remain onsite, but Commons programming and sessions are closed to non-registered attendees.
What if I'm traveling with family or a significant other?
You're welcome to bring family or a partner to Boca Raton.
All programming, meals, and event costs are exclusive to registered attendees. Hotel room costs for additional guests are the responsibility of the attendee.
What do I do if my institutional policies prevent me from receiving gifts?
Commons Boca is a professional development experience — structured sessions, peer learning, and strategic planning around AI in higher education.
We've worked with partner institutions to ensure the program qualifies as a learning and development opportunity. If your institution has specific gift or hospitality policies, reach out to us and we'll work through it with you.
Do you provide a justification letter?
Yes. If it would help with your institution's internal approval process, email commons@collegevine.com and we'll send a sample justification letter.
What's the best way to prepare?
No advance work is required. Your experience and perspective are the preparation. We recommend coming with a specific challenge or goal in mind to get the most out of your personalized agenda.
What's the attire?
Business casual. Florida will be warm, but the indoor programming spaces are air-conditioned, so we recommend bringing a light layer.
