- Cost: Offers an affordable national conference experience with a small group feel. Other national sexual violence conferences charge upwards of triple our registration fee ($125-$200 versus $375-$725, with most being $500+).
- Topic: Puzzles focuses entirely on campus sexual and dating violence.
- Community: Puzzles is centered on the beauty and importance of building relationships and community. Our plentiful and hard-working team strive to create a personalized, connected, supportive, and welcoming conference experience tailored to you. Even though we are virtual this year, we believe you will continue to feel our personal connection!
