Let Us Know

WE BELIEVE THE CONFERENCE SHOULD BE ACCESSIBLE...


Along with subsidizing almost 400 attendee registration costs, PRISMS provides scholarship opportunities to cover additional conference costs for families, educators, and researchers – ranging from registration, to hotel accommodations, to travel.

We believe the conference should be accessible to all, and we are determined to keep costs of attendance for the SMS community low. PRISMS accomplishes this by providing scholarship opportunities to cover conference costs for families and professionals and heavily subsidizing the true cost to all of our attendees. The true cost per person at our international conference is approximately $760. PRISMS subsidizes roughly $500 per registrant, leaving attendees to cover just 30% of each individual cost to attend.

And we are committed to organizing and hosting a high-quality conference full of content that is relevant and empowering for all attendees.

Together through education, awareness, and research, we are all strong.
