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:
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.
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).
Topic + Accessibility: Puzzles focuses entirely on college sexual and dating violence and all presenters are required to incorporate aspects of intersectionality in their sessions. And since all are recorded, you never miss a session! You have access to everything for 3 months!
Cash: As an incentive to network with other participants, we award multiple cash winners per day. Winners will get sent cash via a payment app!
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 sessions are for intermediate or advanced professionals.
So what are you waiting for? Register now!!
