Ka ʻAha Hoʻolauna Aloha — Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Please carefully review our .
Registration & Payment
How do I register for the conference?
All attendees must register individually through Sched. After registering, you may select and add workshops to your personal schedule. Space in sessions is limited, so early registration is strongly recommended.
Do I need to register or purchase a ticket before I can view the workshops?
No. If you would simply like to browse the event schedule and view the available workshops, you do not need to register or purchase a ticket first.
You may freely explore the schedule and read the workshop descriptions without creating an account. If you happen to already be logged in to your Sched account, you may be prompted to purchase a ticket before selecting workshops. In that case, simply log out of your account and continue browsing the schedule without registering.
Once you are ready to register, you may log back in and complete your ticket purchase and workshop selections.
Can I change my workshop schedule after registering?
ʻAe! You can adjust your workshop selections at any time by logging in to your Sched account, as long as space is available in the workshops. Registration for each workshop will close once the session begins. We always recommend registering early, as seats are limited. If a workshop is full, you may join the waitlist, and you will receive an alert if a spot opens up.
Am I limited to 10 hours like last year’s conference?
ʻAʻole. We’ve removed the 10-hour limit so you can make the most of your weekend with us! Full Weekend Pass holders may register for as many workshops as they like, as long as there are no time conflicts. Single-Day (Saturday) ticket holders may select from Saturday workshops only.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Payments are processed through the registration system using the available online payment options at checkout.
Do you offer group or other discounts?
