• How do I register for MANIFEST?

    Use this link to register for Manifest

    OR

    Download the Engage Columbia app (at the Apple App Store or Google Play for Android users).

    Once you've found an event you want to register for, scroll to the 2nd section (Registration). Click the green Register button. That's all! (It works the same way on the app and the website)

    When you arrive, flash your proof of registration and ID to be issued a wristband that will allow you to explore the festival.

  • I don't have a colum.edu email address - can I still register on the website or use the app?

    Yes! Select the Manifest 2025: IMAGINE event (with the star). You will need to enter your email address. It will then prompt you for the 6-digit code that was just sent to that email address from Columbia Engage Portal (support@campusgroups.com).

  • Do I need to create an account and password?

    No! Just enter your email and the 6-digit code you receive, and you're in!

  • I totally forgot to register, and this showcase looks so cool!  Can I still participate?

    Yes! There will be onsite registration available on the day.

  • Can I register for my whole group, or does everyone need to register individually?

    Yes – you can register for a group by changing the number in the pull-down menu when you RSVP. However, you will need to be there whenever a member of your group wants to check-in. If you move as a pack, this is great. If you and someone from your group are attending 2 different events at the same time, it could be a problem.

  • Where do I get my wristband?  Do I need to get a new one for every event?

    All Manifest guests need a wristband on the day to explore the festival. You can get your wristband at one of 3 check-in stations, located at 623 S Wabash, the Student Center @ 754 S Wabash, and 1104 S Wabash.  Please note:  wristbands will NOT be available at the exterior lots, but you will be expected to have one to enter them. This wristband is good for the duration of Manifest. But if you misplace yours, you can show your registration at any check-in station to get a replacement.

  • What if it there is bad weather?  (this is Chicago!)

    Manifest is rain or shine. Plan accordingly!
