Registration for the

2023 Upper New York (UNY) Annual Conference, to be held June 1-3, at Onondaga Community College’s SRC Arena in Syracuse, closed on April 30. There is a lot of work that happens behind-the scenes among the UNY staff to make the registration process smooth and easy-to-understand. For those who registered (over 900 of you), we thank you!

Because the Book of Discipline ensures all voting members have the opportunity to vote, onsite registration will be provided. As in the past, a $50 late fee will be added to the $250 registration fee and the entire $300 fee must be paid in full at the time of registration onsite. Also, because the SRC Arena needed numbers in advance for meals, we can only guarantee meals for the first 50 people who register onsite.

Questions can be addressed by sending an email to [email protected].

*PLEASE NOTE:Reminder:You will need to register AGAIN in October for that session of Annual Conference.

Who Can Vote At Annual Conference?

There is often confusion regarding who is to attend and who has both voice and voting privileges at Annual Conference. For example, voting rights for Annual Conference are different than voting rights for clergy session. Even though you are appointed as a pastor at a local church doesn't necessarily grant you the right to attend and vote a clergy session. Review the voting information, as outlined in The Book of Discipline, below for further explanation regarding clergy and laity.
