Join the Facebook Community
Connect with other SLI attendees and share resources, tips and fun in the private Facebook group.
This group is a place where you can ask questions, offer ideas, and share resources…before, during, and after the 2020 SLI. We love posts that invite discussion and critical analysis of real-life challenges. We also love posts that are inspiring and invite deep reflection. As a general guideline, please share posts in a way that’s helpful/powerful for others in the group, that ask more than tell, and appreciate human diversity.

Do I have to pre-register for any of the sessions?
There will be select times (see the schedule) when you will be asked to pre-register for a breakout session based upon interest. You will always have the option to change your mind.
What if I can't make a session? Will they be recorded?
Check the schedule for dates/times of Dr. Bettina Love's and LeDerick Horne's sessions. These will NOT be recorded.
The Wretches and Jabbers movie will also only be available during the SLI event (August 3-6).
Will the PPTs be shared?
All this said…we'll convert all sessions into a searchable library entry a few weeks after the live event. If there are slides or other handouts to be shared, you'll find them in the library by session. Click here for a sample of one library entry. This will give you an idea of what is to come.
