Your Convention Checklist:
1. Certification Programs: There are three featured Certification Programs and all will teach you how to lead a safe, effective Pole workout. Each program has been pre-screened and reviewed to ensure you are receiving the best quality education at the event. These programs will run on June 21 & 22. If you wish to sign up for a Certification Program, be conscious that you do not also book a workshop that may interfere with this. The Certification Program may do testing towards the end and you don't want to miss that. See the 'Certification Programs' page for booking and information.
2. Convention Passes: Please get your pass before you book any workshops. You must have a Limited or All Access Convention Pass in order to participate in any workshops (paid/FREE). The Convention Pass is your identity at the event and how our Convention Staff will be able to keep our event secure. The Limited and All Access Convention Passes also get you into the shows and private gatherings.
3. Workshops: Once you book your Convention Pass, feel free to start booking workshops. Many workshops are FREE and some are paid; you do not need to book FREE workshops as they will run on a first-come-first-serve basis.

We put 2 people per pole in the X-Pole Workshop Room. The VIP Workshop Room is 11 poles total; 1 for the instructor and 10 poles for 10 students.
