Want to learn more about using Zoom? Have questions about the conference in general?
Be sure to attend our Conference Tech Tips & Tricks online meeting on April 22 at 4pm EDT (GMT/UTC -4). This session will be recorded for future viewing.
How do I register? How much does it cost?
We are offering ALL the conference content for a flat fee of $100 USD for SAQA members ($150 non-members)
Registration will stay open until April 23 and the conference recordings will be available for 3 months. No refunds will be available after April 1 (a $25 cancellation fee will apply).
Where can I find details about the schedule?
Our main presentations will occur Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 4pm - 7pm ET (New York timezone). You can also join our Member Mixer at 3pm ET to connect with other attendees and discuss the content.
SAQA uses US/Canada Eastern Timezone (New York) as our official time. You can use a timezone converter but most people find it more helpful to add "New York" time on their mobile devices.
How I can connect with other attendees?
Unlike previous virtual conferences, we will not be using the Whova platform. We encourage you to attend the conference Member Mixer events at 3pm ET on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday before the main presentations. Note that these meetings will not be recorded due to the format.
If you are on Facebook, you can post to our daily threads about the content.
How will I find the Zoom links to connect?
Before and during the conference, we will also be sending out daily emails with links to Zoom meetings and available recordings. If you are not receiving these emails, check your spam folders and add conference@saqa.art to your list of approved senders.
What will be recorded?
Main presentations will be pre-recorded and made available to attendees after the live presentation. If you can't attend live, you can watch everything on your own schedule.
Once a recording is available, it will posted added to our private conference youtube channel. This link will be available in your emails. All conference attendees will have access to the recordings for 3 months after the live conference.
What type of internet connection/speed do I need? How do I know if it will work?
Conference content will be delivered mostly via Zoom in both webinar and meeting formats. The best way to find out if you have the necessary bandwidth is to attend one of our free online events such as Textile Talks (webinar) or Live Chats.
I can't make it to the entire conference - is there a single day or partial rate?
Due to the format of the conference and the availability of recordings, we are not offering any partial registrations at this time. However, remember that recordings will be available soon after the live event so you can watch on your own schedule.
