NYSAIS Residential Conferences

NYSAIS hosts over 15 residential conferences yearly, most occurring at the Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz. These annual events offer opportunities for professional learning and collaboration to individualized constituent groups, such as our Conference for Heads of School, Business Affairs Conference, and Conference for Admissions Professionals.

2025 – 2026 Schedule of NYSAIS Residential Conferences

Online registration will open two months prior to each conference. Look for an email announcement or check the NYSAIS Professional Learning Calendar.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING RESIDENTIAL CONFERENCES 

NYSAIS hosts all of its residential conferences at the Mohonk Mountain House unless otherwise specified on an event’s registration page. Upon successful completion of a registration for a NYSAIS residential conference, each attendee will receive an email confirmation that includes the necessary information to register with Mohonk. Please note: your NYSAIS residential conference registration DOES NOT include a room at Mohonk. All conference attendees must (1) reserve a guest room at Mohonk OR (2) complete a Day Guest Form. This is a Mohonk Mountain House policy. Both options will be included in the attendee confirmation email. 

NYSAIS strongly recommends that residential conference attendees register with Mohonk immediately after completing their NYSAIS registration, as rooms at Mohonk will sell out for certain conferences. If Mohonk is fully booked for the conference that you are registered for, please reach out to us as soon as possible to get on the waitlist. Rooms often open up as the conference date nears, and we will coordinate with Mohonk to get attendees off the waitlist and into hotel rooms in the order they were added (by timestamp of initial contact). 

Attendees are not required to stay at Mohonk Mountain House to participate in a NYSAIS conference, though in those cases, they must still contact Mohonk to register as a day guest. If you wish to reserve alternative lodging, or Mohonk is fully booked for your conference, here are some nearby options:

• Hampton Inn
• Americas Best Value Inn
• Rodeway Inn 

If you choose to stay elsewhere, you still need to register for the conference and sign up as a “day guest” at Mohonk.

If you choose to register at an alternative lodging option and join the waitlist for Mohonk, please make sure to review the alternative facility’s cancellation policy before making your selection.

If you have any dietary requirements or restrictions (vegan, Kosher, allergies, etc.), please contact Mohonk Mountain House via the email included in the attendee confirmation email.

For questions about registration, please contact us at support.nysais.org. For questions about the program, please contact Alex Shaurette.
