The SITC networking event on Thursday evening is held at a separate location to offer attendees a most exciting experience. Holding some events offsite from the conference location also gives attendees exposure to that city outside of the conference location.  The networking event is open to the entire legal community, which is also why SITC networking events may take place at a location outside of the conference site.

The conference is open to all within the court reporting and captioning profession.

A steno-spouse is an individual whose employment and or business is not directly tied to the steno community.  This person is not a freelance and/or official court reporter, not a videographer, not a scopist or proofreader or one whose business is tied to the court reporting profession aside from being a spouse to someone who is.

A steno-spouse may want to attend a SITC conference so that they can have a better understanding about the court reporting and captioning profession their spouse works in because one may have a personal interest in steno and what it entails and/or to be a supportive and encouraging partner.  You must email info@stenointhecity.com to verify and register your non-steno spouse. 

Full registration includes all conference events and sessions excluding the speed contests.

Please email info@stenointhecity.com should you have an emergency so we can discuss and determine IF we can accommodate you.
