S4SCON is NOT 6 hours of Zoom talking heads, so be prepared to participate. Sessions include live chats, polling and more.

Having time in a virtual event to synthesize the material and have real connections with others is key. Throughout each day, strategic breaks allow you to visit with exhibitors, network individually or in topic-specific groups, collaborate with your peers, earn extra points in our virtual game or take time to handle anything else you might need to. This conference is designed to help get you what you need to be the most successful government social media communicator, especially in these difficult times; it’s up to you if you’d like to participate live or go back and watch the sessions on demand! 

Conferences are about the people and collaboration, and while we can’t meet this year in person, we’ve built several ways for you to connect, virtually. After sessions, you can chat in the community Q&A board, meet directly with sponsors and exhibitors or, if you upgrade to an All Access Ticket, you can join live group video meetups or even set your own one-on-one  meetups.

For this virtual event, you will need a computer or tablet and internet access. 

If you are attending with the All Access Ticket, we recommend a mic and webcam (standard laptop issue is just fine) to easily be a part of any optional group and one-on-one live video rooms.

Sure. During checkout, just request the ‘pay by check’ option, and you’ll receive an invoice via email and you can mail us a check. You can optionally add more than one participant during checkout, in which case, the invoice total will be combined, requiring only one check.

All virtual tickets are nonrefundable (except for the below circumstances), but may be transferred to anyone you choose in your place, including to a member of another agency/organization. You must follow the procedures noted in our full virtual event Terms & Conditions. No fees will be refunded for transfers, and no additional charges will be assessed.

If the virtual event were to be cancelled due to an emergency situation beyond the control of organizers, your ticket cost would be refunded in full.

 In the unlikely event that the entire virtual conference needed to be rescheduled for any reason, participants would have the option to attend the rescheduled event or opt for a full refund.
