We are exploring whether or not to offer a limited virtual experience for those unable to attend in-person. Virtual participants would be able to access to keynote speaker presentations, and would participate in modified online only workshop components (depending on number of virtual attendees). We hope to be able to increase accessibility for participants unable to attend. If this pathway becomes available, we will adjust the rates to reflect the limited experience.

Registration is based on date of application; not date of acceptance. Registration fees may be paid securely online after acceptances have been awarded.
