Registration for SiWC 2023 will open Wednesday, June 7th at NOON Pacific.

**We will post registration for SiWC 2023 in March. 2022’s registration information is below for your reference, but rates are subject to change.**

Please plan to register early if you want to attend the in-person conference, as we have reduced numbers this year for Covid safety and the conference typically sells out very quickly.

This year we will be offering a hybrid conference, with both in-person and online components. Note: SiWC will continue to monitor local COVID-19 trends and meet or exceed protocols mandated by our local government. By registering for SiWC, you agree to abide by the health and safety measures in effect at the time of the event, which may include, but not be limited to, wearing masks, providing proof of vaccination status and/or providing proof of negative COVID-19 test. Details of this year’s Covid safety plan will be announced closer to the event.
