Registration, Scholarships, and Sponsorship, Oh My!
NASAGA 2024 is coming ever closer, which means it’s time to start opening up options for registration, scholarships, and sponsorships. Read on for some Frequently Asked Questions about all three!
Registration
Money is tight for me. How can I get the cheapest deal possible on NASAGA 2024 and still get the full amazing conference experience?
We get it! Here are three ways that you can save up to 40% off the base conference cost of $600:
Register early! If you register before August 27th, you get $75 off the conference, independent of all other discounts.
Become a member! Our annual membership fee is only $30. If you become a member and then register, you get another $100 off the conference fee.
Tell us who you are! If you’re a student, educator, or representative of a non-profit organization, select that option for registration and save another $100.
Cool, I like saving money. I’m already a member of NASAGA, but I’m not seeing the option to register as a member. Help!
Make sure you are logged into the NASAGA website with your member login and password. If you’ve been a member for a while and can’t remember it (no judgment, we’ve all been there), just use the “forgot password” option on the Member Login. Then, go to the Member Store (you can also find it in the pull-down menu for Members) where you’ll see the Member Conference Registration options.
What does the conference registration actually cover?
Conference registration gets you access to all conference sessions from icebreakers on the evening of 16 October through the closing on 19 October (typically mid-day). Breakfast on 17, 18, and 19 October is also typically included, along with dinner at the NASAGA Gala on 18 October. Other meals are on your own. Other items not included in the conference fee:
Scholarships
I can see what a great value for money the conference is, but even those reduced prices are tough for me to manage on top of travel and lodging. Can you help?
NASAGA is proud to once again offer a limited number of scholarships to support attendance at our flagship event. The goal of the NASAGA scholarship program is to allow more people to participate in the annual conference. A NASAGA scholarship may cover conference fees, hotel, and travel expenses, where applicable. Financial coverage will be detailed in an acceptance letter, and all scholarships will be by reimbursement. Please note that pre-conference fees and NASAGA merchandise are not covered by a scholarship.
Applicants must reside in North America and demonstrate interest in the field of gaming and simulation for learning purposes. If the scholarship fund cannot accommodate all applicants, preference will be given to:
Applicants who best exemplify the goals of diversity and inclusion, gaming in education, or gaming for social justice as described in their narrative;
First-time conference attendees;
Those who are proposing a session for the conference; and
Students.
That sounds awesome. How do I apply for a scholarship?
Go to our Scholarship page and fill out the Google Form application.The deadline for scholarship application is July 14, 2024. You will be notified via email by July 28, 2024.
Sponsorships
I run/am affiliated with a company that works in this space, and I want NASAGAns to know more about my/our products/services. How do I do that?
You become a Conference Sponsor! Sponsors help us put on the best program possible and give our members insights into great products and services to help them do their work. Past sponsors of NASAGA Conferences include Foundry10, Manifold, and 42 Educational Games Coaching and Design.
Nice! What do I get for my sponsorship?
Sponsorship levels range $250 to $5000, with perks including public thank-yous during the conference welcome and closing, space to promote and sell during the Friday afternoon expo, complimentary conference registrations, and promotion on our social media and newsletters.
