A note about ticket prices:
Our registration tiers reflect a sliding scale, a tool for establishing economic justice, introduced to us by our partners Point Source Youth. In this registration pricing system, everyone ultimately pays a similar percentage of their individual or organizational income to attend the conference. This scale is about recognizing the privileges and resources that make paid events disproportionately more accessible for groups with higher operating budgets and for individuals with greater wealth.
We’re committed to making our conference as accessible as possible. We realize that individuals and communities experience systemic harm and marginalization as a result of long-standing inequities in the US, have been further exacerbated these past few years by a pandemic, political, financial and social upheaval, and a warming planet. We hope that this sliding scale facilitates increased access to this event and serves as an invitation to both think and speak deeply about the societal factors that create such stark disparities in wealth and resources in the US. We trust you to evaluate your ability to pay accordingly. Help us keep this conference as accessible as possible!
