Where do I sign up for workshops?


When will I receive my Programming information?

  • The Programming Committee will be emailing everyone their Programming information but the date is TBD. We will update accordingly.
  • If you do not receive an email a week before U-19, please email conference.programming@unavsa.org.


When should I arrive for my workshop session?

  • Please arrive 5-10 minutes prior to the start of your session! A staff member will be marking attendance for the session to make sure everyone is where they’re supposed to be.
  • If you are not in the right session, staff will redirect you to the correct location. Please email conference.programming@unavsa.org if you have any issues during this time.


What happens if my session goes over time?

  • Sessions will not run any longer than 10 minutes past their end time. Ideally all sessions will end on time but we understand that some discussions may run over. 
  • Feel free to reach out to your presenter(s) through email following the session if you want to continue any dialogue/discourse. 


What are the general expectations that Programming has for me? 

  • Be on time to the session! We ask that you arrive 10 minutes before your session begins.
  • Respect the presenter and other participants/attendees at all times. (Silence notifications, minimize noise/distractions, etc.)
  • We recommend business casual attire, unless the workshop presenter requests otherwise.  
  • Be engaged! Ask questions, join in conversations, and actively participate in your workshop sessions!


What if I can’t attend the workshop session times due to emergencies?

  • Please contact the Programming Staff email: conference.programming@unavsa.org as soon as you are aware of the emergency. 
  • You should also notify your Family Leader as well. Staff will do their best to accommodate.
