Participating in the Conference Workshops
You must bring a printed confirmation of your Conference registration (full package, daylong package, theatrical performance, and/or optional social or tourist activities, if applicable) and a signed Release Form (see below) as proof of your payment and to show to which room you are assigned. In advance of the Conference, single workshop registrations will be limited in availability during the Conference weekend due to the format of this Conference, where workshops are designed to complement each other over the course of a full day. However, as the Conference weekend approaches, if we find the format and space limitations of the Conference permit, we may offer half-day and/or single workshop options – online and walk-in registrations will be welcome at this time. Please join our e-mail list or check the registration page for updates.
