Why Puzzles?

Yes, there are a ton of conferences out there - what makes this one so special you ask??? Here are our top 5 reasons:

1. Presenters: While we bring in the headliners, we also shine spotlights on local unfamiliar rock stars. We strive to provide opportunities for those who are often overlooked.

2. Cost: Offers an affordable national conference experience with a small group feel. Other national sexual violence conferences charge upwards of triple our registration fee ($400-$875 versus $160-$300, with most being $500+).

3. Topic: Puzzles focuses entirely on college sexual and dating violence and all presenters are required to incorporate aspects of intersectionality in their sessions.

4. Cash: As an incentive to network with other participants and to visit our sponsor exhibitor booths, we will award multiple cash winners per day. Top participants will get cash Venmo’d straight to them or via a gift card-up to you!

5. Community: Puzzles is centered on the 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, we believe you will continue to feel our personal connection!

Lastly, over 50% of all workshops are for intermediate or advanced professionals.

So what are you waiting for? Register now!!

Richard Webley Student Scholarship

A registration scholarship for students and those new to the field. This scholarship is named in honor of Juliette’s beloved brother-in-law, Richie, who recently passed away. He was kind, funny, thoughtful, and the most generous person you had ever met. He was a huge supporter of Juliette’s work; always ready to brainstorm creative ways for her to get her message out. At his core, Richie loved to learn, and was a mentor to many. Juliette is proud to fund this scholarship in his honor, to students and those new to the field.

The Chrysalis Network Whole Circle Scholarship

A registration scholarship designed to support students, advocates, and prevention professionals who self-identify as belonging to neurodiverse or disability communities.

If you would like to donate to provide additional registration opportunities for this scholarship, please do so via Eventbrite. Chrysalis Network will match all donations.

All applications will be reviewed by a panel of professionals in the field who identify as autistic and/or part of the disability community.
