How It Works / Getting Started
Welcome to Sight, Sound & Story — here’s a simple guide to help you get started, understand our process, and get the most out of the experience.
- Explore Our Events & Content
- Events Page — Browse upcoming sessions, summits, live panels, and technical talks. Each event has a dedicated page with times, speakers, topics, and pricing (if any).
- Archives & On-Demand — If you’re not able to attend live, many sessions are archived and available via Video on Demand or Audio / Podcast.
- Sponsor / Partner Info — Check the Sponsorship section if you’re interested in collaborating, sponsoring, or supporting a session.
- Register or Sign Up
- Select the event or session you’d like to attend.
- Click the “Register / Sign Up” button.
- Fill in your name, email, and any other required info.
- Complete payment if the event is ticketed.
- You should receive a confirmation email with details and, in many cases, a link or password to the live session or recording.
- Before the Session
- Check your email — you may receive a reminder, or 30 minutes ahead a link & password for the live session (if virtual).
- Test your setup — if it’s an online event: check your internet connection, audio, and video (if relevant).
- Review the agenda / talk topics so you know which segments interest you most.
- Attend the Session

- Engage with the content — many sessions include Q&A, chat, or live interaction with speakers.

- After the Session
- Access recordings — if the event includes recorded content, you’ll find them under Archives / Video On Demand (or Audio Podcasts).
- Download materials — sometimes slides, reference files, or resource lists will be made available.
- Follow up / network — many participants connect via social media, professional platforms, or event-specific forums.

Tips & Best Practices
- Register early — many sessions have limited seats or access.
- Keep an eye on your spam/junk folder for confirmation emails.
- For virtual events, join a few minutes early to resolve any technical issues.
- Leverage the Q&A segments — speakers often share valuable insights and behind-the-scenes knowledge.
- Revisit the archived sessions — some topics gain value on repeat viewing once you’ve digested them once.
