Q What Are The Workshops About?
A Our Student Workshops page lists all workshops available for the conference. Click on a workshop title to view the description. Information about the workshop leaders and co-leaders is also provided.
 
Q Why Didn't I Get Workshops That I Requested?
A Being assigned to a workshop that you did not request happens if the workshop you requested is full when assignments are made. 
  • Workshop assignments are based on availability. Some workshops are limited to 10 students per session and fill up quickly so we need to assign ones that are available.
      
  • Workshop assignments are made one week prior to the conference and assignments are based on availability. If a workshop that you requested is not available we will randomly assign one that is.
     
  • We try to match the career field whenever possible.
Q Can My Friends And I Have The Same Workshops So
We Can Be Together All Day?
A Workshop assignments are made on a random basis and we cannot make assignments based on groups. However, friends sometimes get into the same workshops because some workshops allow many participants.
  • If you and your friends attend different workshops you can compare notes and talk about what you learned.
      
  • You can be with your friends during the opening session, lunchtime, closing session, and raffle!
Q Is On-site (Walk-In) Registration Available?
    
A On-site registration is not available. Last minute walk-in students will not be permitted to attend.
