Conference Programs
The Puertograbando 2025 Conference will include both new programs as well as 2020 programs that were postponed due to COVID. We are excited to offer a robust and diverse array of Panels, Demonstrations, INKubators, Themed Portfolios, Mobile Events, Pop-Up Exhibitions, or Outside the Box events for the conference.
Some background….
Non-members can submit program proposals; however, if their proposals are accepted, they must have up-to-date SGCI membership. All participants must be active SGCI members, with some programs only requiring a $5 Friend Membership (e.g., themed portfolios). Refer to this page for membership tiers and participation levels per event type. Participants can request an official letter of participation for their records. Proposals will be reviewed by the steering committee and evaluated on the basis of artistic or academic merit, importance to members, diversity, and proposal integrity. See the full criteria and evaluation for reviewing conference proposals.
Members are requested to engage in a maximum of one event along with one themed portfolio per conference. Although members are permitted to apply to multiple events, if selected for more than one, they must decide which event they will participate in. This approach aims to maximize the availability of spots for the greatest number of members possible.
