Pre-conference sessions and other special opportunities will require separate tickets that are available as part of our normal registration process.
How do you determine the cost of registration?
We work hard to keep the cost of registration as low as possible. We set a goal to break even on conference costs by pursuing ambitious fundraising goals to subsidize conference costs. We are always looking for sponsors & exhibitors to contribute to help us keep our conference as budget-friendly as possible. If you have sponsorship ideas or opportunities you would like to share, please contact us at conference@compact.org.
Are scholarships available?
We are proud to offer lower, more affordable rates to students, AmeriCorps members, and community partners who may not have conference funding or professional development budgets.
We also seek opportunities from sponsors that enable us to offer scholarships for free admission. Any available scholarship or finanical support information will be sent to our mailing list and listed below.
Current opportunities:
- We are currently offering financial support to community college members that wish to attend through a partnership with The Lumina Foundation. Learn more and apply for funding.
