How Our Online Free Event Series Works:

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.

1. How To Register or Sign Up For Our Upcoming Events

  • 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.

2. Before the Session

  1. Check your email — you may receive a reminder, or 30 minutes ahead a link & password for the live session (if virtual).
  2. Test your setup — if it’s an online event: check your internet connection, audio, and video (if relevant).
  3. Review the agenda / talk topics so you know which segments interest you most.

3. Attend the Session

  • Join at the scheduled time using the link or credentials provided.
  • Engage with the content — many sessions include Q&A, chat, or live interaction with speakers.
  • If there is a hybrid or in-person component, follow location and venue details as noted in the event page.

4. After the Session

  • Access recordings — if the event includes recorded content, you’ll find them under Archives / Video On Demand (or Audio Podcasts).
  • 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.

5. Contribute or Engage More Deeply

  • Suggest a speaker / submit a topic — if you’re an editor, cinematographer, colorist, or storyteller and want to participate, contact us with your background and ideas.
  • Sponsor or partner — explore sponsorship opportunities via our Sponsorship page.
  • Stay in the loop — subscribe to our newsletter or follow our social media to get updates on upcoming events, panels, and announcements.

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.
