It is essential to the spirit and productivity of SGC that workshops be conducted in a equitable manner.
All workshop facilitators should attend a brief introduction to mediation to be scheduled later. We

Southern Girls Convention is focused around workshops which are conceived and facilitated by participants
themselves. Are you interested in facilitating a workshop? We need you and your ideas! We are accepting workshop
submissions up until Sunday, July 7, and will announce the scheduled workshops at that time. We
will try to find space to schedule all the workshop submissions that we get. If we do not have enough space to
schedule your workshop, there will be space available for advertising and holding guerilla workshops.
