Hello InstructureCon veterans!
I'm hoping to attend my first InstructureCon and I'm trying to figure out whether I should book things so that I can attend the Pre-Conference Sessions. Here are the questions I have:
I saw in some other posts where there have been unofficial Pre-Conference sessions held too. If anyone planning an unofficial preconference would like to answer any or all of the questions above for their events, that'd be appreciated too.
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hey Michelle,
I wanted to come back and address your original questions:
Hey @mtuten ,
I'm glad to hear that you are coming this year! Nice!
Pre-conference schedule and session descriptions should be published by about Apr 1st. I'm not sure about breakfast but lunch is provided. There will be an option to sign up for pre-conf sessions in the same registration process as the regular conf registration. Not sure what else will be brewing that day but look out for more info coming at the unconference session that will happen on the Friday after the regular conference. This year it will be lead by several luminaries from the Community! More on that to follow...
I'm hoping to take advantage of the Early-Bird registration. On the current registration page, I don't see a place where I can register for the pre-conference. I assume that this is because topics haven't been decided. If I did early-bird registration and wanted to attend the pre-conference, would I need to return to the registration page to register separately for the pre-conference sessions?
I need to submit for funds ahead of time so knowing what the pre-conference schedule is and the cost before early bird pricing expires would be really nice.
@mtuten and hottingert,
We are trying to get you an answer to this question currently. Will check back when we know more.
Thanks
@mtuten , I know you're asking about the pre-conference sessions, but as you're doing your planning, you might also want to consider attending the Unconference taking place on Friday. It's free, food will be provided, and it should be a super awesome learning/sharing/collaborating experience! 🙂

Thanks Kona. I read elsewhere about the unconference and am considering it as well.
Excellent! Let me know if you have any questions!
The pre-conference schedule does not seem to be posted yet. Is there any other gatherings on Tuesday beyond the pre-conference or are they asking for volunteers for the pre-conference or Unconference on Friday as in the past?
Hi Tammy,
I haven't heard of any activities planned for Tuesday other than the pre-conference trainings. However, if you are willing to be involved with the unconference on Friday, we'd love to see you there.
