Breakout sessions are 45 minutes and Speed Learning sessions are 20 minutes. You should be sure to leave time for questions at the end. 

Do presenters get discounted conference registration?

SCCA breakout session and/or speed learning session presenters do not receive discounted registration. 

Do you offer single-day conference registration?

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer a daily rate. We value having a consistent feel to the event and the ability to truly engage with colleagues across the entire conference.
