2026 GRAMMY U Conference
PRIORITY ACCESS
As a confirmed registered attendee of the 2026 GRAMMY U Conference Presented by Vaseline in
New York, you have the opportunity to sign up for Priority Access to events happening
on Friday, April 24 and Saturday, April 25!
What is Priority Access?
Priority Access grants you early access to the entering the venues on Friday and Saturday. That means, first to get in and enjoy food, drinks, and photo opps, and even have the chance to be one of the firsts to grab a seat!
If you receive Priority Access to a specific event, you can line up in the Priority Access lane starting one hour before doors open. The Priority Access lane will remain open for 30 minutes after doors open. After the Priority Access lane closes, whether or not you have Priority Access confirmation, you must enter through the General Admission line.
While you are a confirmed registrant for the GRAMMY U Conference, the conference takes place over multiple days and venues of varying capacities. Therefore, we have implemented this Priority Access system to help with your planning. Please note that a conference registration confirmation does not guarantee entry due to capacity limitations, so we recommend requesting Priority Access for events you plan to attend and arriving early.
Registration Disclaimer:
Please note that these Priority Access Forms are interest forms and does not guarantee Priority Access for each event.
You are able to fill out the form for each event once. Please only complete this if you plan to attend that portion of the Conference.
This invitation is non-transferable and you must be a GRAMMY U member with a confirmed registration already in order to fill out the forms.
You will receive an email on Tuesday, April 21st if you have been granted Priority Access to your requested Grammy U Conference option.
