Default 2016 SSA Convention Presentations

Thank you for the response. Sorry to hear this as I am sure there are many SSA members who would like to hear the presentations, but due to work/family/budget time or money...etc., cannot attend. Perhaps next year negotiate for the SSA to video the presentations to post on the SSA web site for it's membership to view. I would gladly pay the cost of admission to the conference to view the videos.

Jonathan,
Due to contractual requirements, there is one company that we would have to use to video speaker sessions. When we checked into this, the cost was about $10,000.

The SSA Convention is a low budget affair, primarily due to the typically low number of attendees. We are doing our best this year to increase attendance with an extremely small marketing budget. While the advance ticket sales are up for this year's event, they don't lead us to believe that there will be an additional $10K for videoing the speaker sessions.

The SSA is a 501c3 charitable organization and a directed donation, if it was done quick enough, could make this possible.
