OARC 47 SOCIAL We have heard that registering separately for the workshop and social can make the Eventbrite process confusing. For OARC 47, we are trying a new approach by including social registration as part of the main event registration. Each in-person attendee may add one free OARC 47 Social ticket to their registration. Space is limited, so please select the social add-on if you plan to attend. This will help us confirm expected attendance. Tickets for guests or +1s will be available for purchase at the door, subject to space and availability.
