Thank you to the sponsors:
Hi! When I registered it gave me an address in Maryland, is this not live for me anymore?
Thank you for the question, Tonia. Someone from the event will be in contact with you about this.
Due to the pandemic, the conference this year will be live streamed and there will not be any in-person seating.
Well before the date of the conference, everyone who had completed the registration process will receive information on how to log onto the conference and also how to pose questions of the speakers.
Why is there a difference in pricing between the general public, volunteers and facilitators, and graduate students? Do the higher rates allow different levels of access?
Good questions, Brenda. Someone from the conference will be able to answer them for you.
I registered for the conference for two of us on October 1. I never received a confirmation email.
Please advise.
Someone from the conference will follow up with you, Ann.
Thanks for sharing such a great information. It really helpful for all. I always search to read the quality content and finally I found this in your post. Keep it up! Sure to join!!!
Hi, during the live stream, someone under the banner of Smart Recovery in the chat box promised to provide a link (for all participants) to the video for those who wanted to re-watch portions of conference. I have not received it or seen it on the site. I’m especially interested in Carrie Wilkens’ presentation.
Thanks for your wonderful blog.
