How do I choose the right ticket category?

This year we have 3 ticket categories (1) Reduced Rate (2) Full Rate (3) Pay it Forward

We are using a sliding scale to help you to determine how much to pay for the conference. This sliding scale is dependent on your access to money and wealth. It is an intentional equity effort. All of our experiences regarding these factors are different and complex. This list of questions aims to help you do some self-assessment to consider what rate to pay:

• Are you and your family homeowners or landowners?
• Have you attended private education institutions or do you have an advanced degree?
• Are your bills or credit cards on autopay?
• Have you not had difficulty accessing and affording healthcare or health insurance for you or your family members?
• Do you have zero to no debt and/or do you have disposable income?Do you have a safety net composed of “financially stable” or wealthy family and friends?
• Do you have U.S. Citizenship?
• Does your income only support you, and not other loved ones?\
• Have you or do you expect to inherit money or property?
• Was race, ethnicity, or religious heritage a barrier to your family building wealth in the past 2 generations?
• Have you (or could you) have attended college and/or graduate school?

Sliding Scale Rates based on your answers to the questions:

If you answered almost all no → Reduced rate
If you answered more yes than no → Full Cost rate
If you answered almost all yes → Pay it Forward rate
