FAQs

I’m having a difficult time affording the registration fee, what can I do?
KVC offers a monetary incentive to everyone who moderates sessions during the conference. Moderators are paid $50 if they moderate a 3-4 hour block of time or $100 if they moderate a 6-8 hour block of time. Moderators are responsible for the following:

  • Address any problems with audio-visual (by contacting an onsite A/V technician)
  • Keep the speaker on time
  • Make announcements at the beginning of the session block
  • Track attendance during each 55-minute session
  • Introduce the speaker (a written bio will be given to you)
  • Monitor the room temperature (and contact maintenance using a house phone if adjustment is needed)
Therefore, if you moderate a full day each day during the conference, you will be paid $400!
What forms of payment are accepted? Check, made payable to PVMA or Visa, Mastercard, or  Discover.
