Conference Work Exchange Programs
Student Work Exchange: Get 40% off your registration fee
Formerly known as Student Assistantships, SNAG will once again be offering this popular opportunity for students. The Student Work Exchange enables 25 students to work for six hours during the conference in return for 40% off their $255 registration fee, given in the form of a refund. Students must be a SNAG member. All refunds are made after the conference.
Introducing the
New Professionals Conference Work Exchange Program: Get 40% off your registration fee
Twenty Work Exchange positions will be available for “New Professionals” of SNAG. Recipients will receive 40% off your registration fee in exchange for working six hours during the conference.
Eligibility: If you are a current SNAG member and any of the following apply to you, then you are eligible as a New Professional.
• You graduated from a college or university in 2007 or later.
• You have taken classes in metal arts or related fields in the past three years, but are neither a student member nor an established artist/ metals professional.
• You are transitioning from any profession into one related to metal arts, jewelry, or design.
• You have been the recipient of an emerging artist award within the past three years.
• You self-identify as an emerging artist.
*Student members are not eligible. We have a separate work-exchange program specifically for student members.*
Sign-up information for both the Student Work Exchange and the New Professionals Conference Work Exchange will be sent out in the fall, via email announcement and is on a first-come-first-serve basis. You must complete regular registration for the conference even if you respond to the announcement. You will receive an email confirming your participation. All refunds are made after the conference. Once available positions are filled, we will have a limited wait list.
Work done in exchange will vary, but may include things such as checking for badges at the entrances to lectures, assisting with conference registration, exhibition crawls, or assisting others at various conference events. Work is often done when lectures and other programs are not running.
