How do I register for a workshop/webinar?
Clients can use the secure online registration. Please complete your registration online and submit your choice of payment as stated below. Non-clients should request a PDF registration form by emailing michelleb@sscal.com and follow the instructions to pay by check or credit card.

  • If paying by check, mail the check to our "remit to only address"—P.O. Box 516613, Los Angeles, CA 90051-0599.
  • If paying by credit card, provide the credit card information when completing your registration online.
  • If paying with a purchase order (clients only), note the purchase order number when registering online and email a copy of the purchase order to michelleb@sscal.com.

When will I receive my Fast Pass QR code (for in-person workshops) or Zoom link (for webinars)?
For in-person workshops, Fast Pass QR codes are emailed several days in advance of the workshop and again the morning of the workshop. We encourage you not to print it and instead show your Fast Pass QR code on your mobile device. The Fast Pass QR code can also be accessed from the SSCAL app available for iOS and Android. Registered attendees who do not have their Fast Pass QR code can stop by the registration desk to check in. 

When you register for any of our subject-based webinars hosted by Zoom, you will need to complete your registration by clicking on the link provided in the webinar confirmation email. The link will take you to Zoom where you will be asked to enter your name and email address to complete the webinar registration process. Once your registration has been confirmed, you will receive an email with your personalized link to access the webinar. Note that the email will be from Michelle Berge SSC Webinars (no-reply@zoom.us).

A subsequent email reminder will be sent one week before the workshop or webinar, with a final reminder email sent a day or two before the workshop or webinar. 

What if I am registering on behalf of someone else and they will be attending the webinar?
When you register someone else, you are asked to enter the individual’s name and email address. They will receive a webinar confirmation email at the email address you provided and a personalized link to access the webinar as noted above under When will I receive my Fast Pass QR code (for in-person workshops) or Zoom link (for webinars)?

How can I access workshop and/or webinar resources?
