PRICING:

Pricing is as follows:

Early Bird Registration (May 24-June 15): 

• General registration: $100
• ONE course WITHOUT general registration: $225
• ONE course AND general registration: $250

Regular Registration (June 16-onward):

• General registration: $150
• ONE course WITHOUT general registration: $250
• ONE course AND general registration: $300

IMPORTANT NOTE: if you sign up for a course WITHOUT general registration, you will NOT have access to ANY programming beyond that course. This means that you will NOT be able to attend any career management workshops, any networking events, any mentoring sessions, etc. You will ONLY have access to the 12 contact hours of the course and absolutely nothing beyond that. We STRONGLY encourage everyone signing up for a course to join the general registration as well. Professional success is not just determined by the knowledge and skills you have, it is also highly dependent on building a network, understanding how the application and interview process works, and learning how to market and advocate for yourself. 

 

CANCELLATION POLICY AND REFUNDS: 

In the event that LCL21 is cancelled by the organizers, registrants will be entitled to a refund of all registration costs MINUS any Eventbrite registration fees. 

All registrations are final. Refunds will not be provided if you cancel your individual attendance. If you can no longer attend, your registration will be transferable to another individual until July 1, 2021. If you need to transfer your registration, you can do so on your ticket in Eventbrite.

CONFERENCE POLICY (CODE OF CONDUCT):

All attendees, speakers, sponsors and volunteers at our conference are required to agree with the following code of conduct. Organizers will enforce this code throughout the event. We expect cooperation from all participants to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.

The Quick Version

Our conference is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices. We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter and other online media. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference organizers.

The Less Quick Version

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, technology choices, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. Sponsors are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, sponsors should not use sexualised images, activities, or other material. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the conference organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the conference with no refund.

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of conference staff immediately. Conference staff will be tagged with #Staff in the virtual platforms. The conference organizers can be reached via email at LinguisticsBeyondAcademia@gmail.com. Additional contact details will be provided in the welcome packet when the conference opens. 

Conference staff will be happy to assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference. We value your attendance.

We expect participants to follow these rules at conference and workshop venues and any other conference-related events.
