Secular Student Alliance National Conference

The SSA Conference is the conference in the United States specifically designed  with secular high school and college students in mind.

• If you are a leader or member of an SSA chapter on your campus, this conference is for you.
• If you are a secular student, you need to be at this conference!
• If you're a faculty or staff advisor to an SSA chapter or would like to learn how to support secular students on your campus, please join us!
• If you're interested in supporting secular students and want to look over their shoulders as they deepen their skills, you are welcome.

Registration is simple and affordable! Go to our online registration form and fill it out today.

Make sure you also go to the Facebook Event Page for the conference and indicate that you are "Interested" or "Going" to get all the updates as they become available.

We have intentionally made the registration fee very low for this reason.

Travel and lodging does add up, but there are ways to raise money for this experience. Your campus organizer stands ready to assist you with

• Running and online, social media campaign to raise funds including technical advice about setting up the fundraiser as well as messaging and strategies to make your fundraiser successful.
• Insight and support in requesting funds from your student government for your leadership development.
• Networking with others in your community who might be willing to support you.

Contact us today at organizers@secularstudents.org.

In the past there have travel grants available directly from SSA. This year we do not have the funds to provide travel grants. Still, if you are serious about coming to the conference, we can help!

The SSA National Conference is a harassment free space. The safety of all conference attendees is very important to us. Our Conference Conduct Policies can be found here. Please familiarize yourself with these important policies.

You should fly into Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). It is by far the closest airport to USC.

Meals are on your own this year. There are many reasonably priced options on campus that include vegetarian and vegan options.

We will provide water, coffee, tea and light snacks at intervals throughout the conference.

The official hashtag for the SSA Conference is #SSACon. Be sure to tag @secularstudents when you use Twitter and Instagram, and feel free to add other hashtags like #secularstudents #secularism #humanism or #humanist.

The SSA staff will be posting regularly on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram before and during the conference. Be sure to follow us for updates and share!

You are welcome to use your mobile phone, laptop, or tablet to tweet or post photos during conference sessions; free wifi will be available on campus and in the residence halls, however, please be respectful and do your best to not be disruptive to the speaker(s) or those around you.
