Breakout sessions are 50 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.

Refunds must be requested prior to Friday, May 22, 2026. After this point, we will be moving ahead with our final numbers for conference rooms, food/drink, and other materials. We suggest inviting another colleague to attend in your place.
