Virtual Registration FAQ
The annual Idaho Conference on Refugees will continue in-person, with strict Covid-19 protocols to keep our participants and community as safe as possible (check out our Covid-19 policies here).
We have decided to add a virtual option this year for attendees who do not feel comfortable attending in person, or for those who work in professions that are especially strained right now by the pandemic, such as healthcare and education.
The virtual option will give participants access to all Main Stage plenaries and speakers, as well as a select number of workshops.

What parts of the conference can I attend virtually? Can I attend any in-person events also?
Virtual-only attendees can watch all main stage plenaries and speakers, as well as a select number of workshops on the Zoom platform. Virtual-only registrations do not include access to any in-person sessions.
We are working quickly with workshop presenters to determine which workshops can be made hybrid or added as a virtual-only option. These will be updated on the workshop page.
