• Volunteer for one Full-Day shift at Main Conference on Thursday (August 27) or Friday (August 28) and receive a conference scholarship to attend the remainder of the conference.

For example: Volunteer on Thursday and attend Friday and Saturday as a conference participant. Or you can volunteer on Friday, and be an attendee on Thursday and Saturday.
