F.A.Q.

The regular rate for Higher Education personnel registration is $375. There will be an opportunity to register early (May 1st through June 30th) for a reduced rate of $325.

Attendance at the TCUF conference is limited to Speakers, Sponsors, and Institutional Personnel only. No additional attendees are permitted, and additional tickets cannot be purchased.

The industry firms that secure a Scholarship Sponsor level will not play any role or have any influence on the individuals selected to receive the scholarships. TCUF Board members who are associated with institutions will be the only panel members reviewing applications. TCUF Board members associated with industry firms will not be included in the review process or have any influence on selections made.

Scholarships shall be exclusively for Facilities Employee (FTE) of Texas Institutions of Higher Education as described in the Bylaws.

Scholarships to attend TCUF will be offered to seven (7) employees of institutions of Higher Education. Applications will be evaluated based on various criteria, including financial need, career objectives, professional experience, and commitment to continuing education.

TCUF participants (Sponsors, Education Session Speakers, or their Guests) are not permitted to attend, host, or promote any event that conflicts with a TCUF scheduled event. This includes, but is not limited to: private activities, dinners, parties, cocktail hours, etc.

If you are unable to secure a sponsorship, please fill out the waitlist form to be added to the list. As sponsorship spots become available, waitlist submissions will be evaluated by submission order and sponsorship level preference to be offered open sponsorship spots.

Payment is due when sponsorship is secured.

Unlike previous years, full payment is due at the time of purchase to complete your transaction and secure your sponsorship level. If necessary, please contact your credit card company in advance to ensure a smooth checkout process. Any delays may result in loss of your sponsorship spot.

Sponsorship opportunities are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and are usually filled within 15 minutes of becoming available.

The number of attendees associated with each Sponsorship level is the maximum number of people that can attend with a particular sponsor.

The rate for Industry Session Speakers is $775.

Industry attendees associated with a Conference Session are not counted against the number of attendees included with a Sponsorship level (if applicable).

For example: if your Sponsorship level includes five (5) attendees, but someone from your organization has been accepted to speak on a Conference Session Panel, that person is not counted toward the five (5) spots associated with your Sponsorship level. As a result, your organization will have six (6) people in attendance at the conference.

Each Session proposal submission must include a Speaker from the associated institution. Each team can have a maximum of two (2) industry professionals for every institutional representative. The industry professionals included in the submission application do not have to be associated with a firm that holds a Sponsorship spot.

The submission deadline for Conference Education Session proposals is May 1, 2026. The selection process for the Conference Education Sessions will take approximately 1-2 months.
