💡FAQs

No problem, we are happy to offer a FULL refund of your previous purchase after you sign up for the full conference.
As shown above, it is roughly quarterly (every three months). Please note that the schedule and categories could change.
Categories will likely change except for a few categories where we had enough courses to create more than one package in that category. Please see the calendar above.
We will not add to a package once it's released, but will create new packages. That keeps it cost-effective and easier for teachers to digest the content.
We have 20+ new sessions for 2025, but we'll also capitalize on the wisdom of past sessions, re-releasing 2023, 2024 sessions that may complete a category well.
Packages stay in the shop for one year from their release date. New packages will be added on the months above.
Packages are good for one year access from the date they're released, not from their purchase date. For example, May's Packages for Release #1 will be up in the shop until May 31, 2026 and access expires on the same day.
