Limited Student Discount Available for Women in Secularism Conference

$25 Registration for 25 Students – Donate Now to Send Even More!

The Women in Secularism conference is coming up soon, and it promises to be an historic event as the secular community tackles the challenges posed by religion in the lives of women all over the world, as well as our own attitudes and actions in regards to women within our own movement. The Center for Inquiry recognizes the enormous educational value of such an event, and how badly the perspective of our next generation of leaders is needed in such a discussion. That’s why we want to do everything we can to make this conference accessible and affordable for students!

CFI is offering to sponsor 25 students to attend the Women in Secularism conference – May 18-20 in Arlington, VA – for the low registration price of $25. If you are a current college student, you must act now to claim one of these specially priced tickets! 

And while we’re proud to be able to offer this reduced pricing, we’d love nothing more than to be able to make it available to even more students. That’s why we’re asking for donations to sponsor the registration of as many students as possible. We won’t stop at 25 student-priced registrations if we don’t have to, but we need your help to make it happen. If you donate $100 or more, you’ll receive a limited edition SurlyRamics necklace! 

Students looking to register at reduced pricing, click here. For those who want to lend their support to bring even more students to the conference, donate here. 

Special discounted hotel rates end May 1.
