Satellite Site FAQ

How do I register for a satellite site location?

All registration will be handled by ALA’s Registration team. Follow this link to complete your registration online, or print the PDF registration form to complete your registration. Please be aware that you are required to note which location you will attend. Do not contact your site’s project manager to register.

What hotels are near my satellite site?

Please contact your satellite site’s project manager to get hotel recommendations. If you are attending the Greenville, SC location, you can secure your hotel arrangements via the AASL website.

What is the exact location of the satellite site?

Upon registration, you will receive a confirmation letter containing further details about the exact location of your chosen satellite site.

Will Henry Jenkins, Kristin Fontichiaro or David Lankes be at the satellite site?

No. Henry Jenkins, Kristin Fontichiaro and David Lankes will appear only on location in Greenville, SC. Satellite site attendees will watch their presentations on a projection screen via a live feed.

Are meals included?

The following meals are included in the cost of registration at the satellite sites: Friday afternoon refreshment, Saturday continental breakfast, and Saturday lunch.

Will I need to bring a device to the session?

You will find having a device helpful during the session for note taking and information sharing. As each site will be interacting with the onsite attendees, as well as other sites, your satellite site experience may be enriched by bringing a device. However, the Greenville, SC proceedings will be broadcast on a projection screen. Individual attendees will not receive the link to the broadcast.

What is the programming for each satellite site?

Programming will mirror exactly what is happening in Greenville, SC. When a facilitator is speaking, satellite site attendees will view the presentation on a projection screen via a live feed. During breakout activity time, satellite site attendees will work with others at their location with the help of a satellite site facilitator. See the Fall Forum schedule.
