Are you missing your refund?

There is often some processing time before a refund is posted.

If you haven’t received a refund after a few business days, first check your bank account again.

Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted.

If you’ve done all of this and you still have not received your refund yet, please contact us.

Is there a student or reduced rate for registration?

At the moment there are no reduced rates for registration as we are organizing on the basis of cost-recovery. However, we are looking into sponsorship and other funding possibilities to support the attendance of student and community delegates.

For students who are going to register for the conference, we highly recommend that they select “student” as their registration type so that we can inform them of any sponsorship developments or funding opportunities.

For community members or others interested in any forthcoming funding opportunities please contact us and we will add you to an interest list.

Is there a reduced rate for presenters?

We do not have a rate specific for presenter registration, but are instead offering Early Bird Registration for all registrants until April 1, 2024.

Can I register a group?

Group registration can be completed up to 10 people and it is fairly straight forward in the portal, but you can certainly reach us if you have any problems or other needs. To add group members select the “Add Group Member” widget on the Registration Summary page and input their details, then repeat this action until you have added your full group. You will primarily need their names and email address but there is also a host of additional questions which are mandatory but primarily used for accounting on our end (such as the amount of parking to reserve or dietary concerns). You can find all of the required personal information at the beginning of registration.

How can I volunteer at the conference and is there a reduced volunteer rate?

Volunteers will not pay a registration fee for the conference. Additionally, they can volunteer to attend the separately ticketed events, such as the conference dinner or cultural pre-conference, or choose to pay for these events.

If you are interested in volunteering the best way to get involved at the moment is to send us an email at stenistolw@camosun.bc.ca. You will then be added to the list of interested volunteers to follow-up with. We will be creating a volunteer registration path through our website stenistolw.ca that will become available early this Spring.

Can I submit a proposal for a session at the conference?

The deadline for proposals has now passed and we are beginning to schedule the conference sessions. However, if you still want to be considered please send us details about your proposal including an abstract and the session type (presentation, workshop, panel, or talking circle). If space in the conference becomes available we will review the post-deadline proposals and may contact you for more information.
