This conference is entirely funded through membership and registration fees and the generous donations and sponsorships of our supporters and collaborators. Your payment will go towards CART and ASL services, honoraria for keynote speakers, administrative support, and additional digital access services. The easiest way to contribute is to re-up your individual membership using our Patreon.
If you, your organization, or your institution would like to donate or sponsor additional funds for membership and registrations waivers and/or ASL and CART services so that we can include more attendees, expand our session offerings, and have the possibility of multiple ”tracks” beyond the nine already planned, you may do so in one or more of the following ways:
For donations by individuals, small organizations, or for an amount under $250:
