Thank you for your Excitement! Check out the Preliminary Schedule below (subject to change!)
It is wonderful how much excitement is building to finally meet in person together once again and how anxious everyone is to pour over the program schedule and workshop, tour and field session offerings for Confluence 2022, the first joint conference of SGAA and SAMA.
The Conference Early Registration period will be extended through April 9th to ensure all our members have the opportunity to consider the workshops when they open for registration and take advantage of the discounted Registration Rate of $365 for SAMA and SGAA Members.
Our plan was to post the full program, today, March 19th. However, as a result of expanding our capacity to accommodate everyone interested in attending, including expanding the size of our Vendor Marketplace and the number of Workshop and Tour offerings from what was first planned, we are taking a bit more time to finalize with our presenters and instructors and will launch programming Apr 2, 2022 and Open Workshop Registration, Apr 9, 2022.
We are also planning special demonstrations and field sessions for those interested in alternate experiences, outside the traditional workshop or general session type conference content.
Many are making travel arrangements and would like more information on the schedule so we have outlined the Preliminary Schedule below. (Subject to change)
