Information for Newcomers
Welcome to your first SCPT meeting
Everyone is welcome: scholars, students, ministers and church leaders, members or not. Here is what to expect.
01
Two languages
Sessions are held in English and Spanish. You can present and ask questions in either language.
02
In person or online
Join us in Puerto Rico or online. Registered participants take part in the sessions and the question time via Zoom.
03
How a day runs
Each day alternates plenary sessions, with a keynote lecture, and paper sessions, where presenters share their research under a session chair.
04
Register first
Register before the meeting. Your confirmation email holds the reference number you need to join the online sessions.
05
Certificates
Participants and presenters receive a certificate of participation by email after the conference.
06
Grants
If cost is a barrier, you may apply for a conference grant.
Before you come
- Read the programme to choose your sessions; times are shown in your own time zone.
- If you are presenting, your acceptance email gives your session, its chair and the time allowed.
- Bring questions: discussion after each paper is part of every session.
- Consider joining the Society: members vote at the annual Assembly and receive the newsletter.
