FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers.

When can I register for the next conference?

Twice a year currently, we open registration for the next conference 2 to 3 months in advance. For example, fall conference registration has opened in September; spring conference registration for 2026 opens in March here. We open registration when the majority of conference presenters have confirmed their participation and you can see what they will provide.

For how long can I access conference content?

We make conference content available for at least one month after the conference ends.

How do I get appointments with conference presenters?

Most, though not all, of the presenters offer a number of appointments. When you pay your registration fee to attend the conference, you will receive a code to access available appointments on this site. Each paid registrant requests two appointments. These are first-come, first-serve and are scheduled at speakers’ discretion following the conference week.
