Thank you for your interest in SiWC. If you missed out this year, plan to join us in 2025. Registration will open Wednesday, June 4.
SiWC is not for profit, so registration rates are set to cover the cost of running the conference without any profit.
This year we will be offering a hybrid conference, with both in-person and online components. Note: SiWC is a mask-positive environment. Masks are not mandatory at this time, but are welcome and encouraged in crowded public areas such as workshop rooms to help keep each other safe. SiWC will continue to monitor local health trends and will meet or exceed mandated protocols, and may expand measures to include required masking in workshops and other public areas. By registering for SiWC, you agree to abide by the health and safety measures in effect at the time of the event.
