Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a fee to participate?
No–although our work is made possible in part by participants’ donations. Giving is easy in any amount when you register for this event. Just click the donation button on the top right of the page before or after you sign up!
It says “No times in MONTH” when I view the calendar? It is listed clearly on your website, why am I getting this notice?
If there are no options on the registration page to click a date that means that our conversation has been filled and there are no other future dates for that particular conversation. Feel free to choose another conversation or check back at another time. If you would like to be notified when conversations are added please join our newsletter.
I don’t see the topic I am interested in, what can I do?
We have a number of options for you! You can organize your own conversation using any of our 100+ conversation guides! Try out Kazm and all-in-one platform for organizing and joining conversations. If you would like, we also have an outline on how to create your own guide or we can create one for you. Be sure to Tell Us About Your Conversations!
I created a conversation on your Zoom line/Kazm but it is not appearing on the events calendar. Did I do something wrong?
No! The events on our events calendar are hosted by Living Room Conversations. Our Zoom lines require you to invite your own participants by sending them the Zoom link that you received. We don’t promote privately hosted conversations. Kazm conversations can be set to public and others are then able to search and join your conversation on the Kazm website (you can also search and join others’ conversations as well!). You can find Kazm conversations by clicking here.
What do I need to participate?
You will need a device with a webcam to participate and be seen by other participants. Directions to join will be emailed to you. If you don’t receive a confirmation email after you sign up, make sure to email chelsea@livingroomconversations.org as soon as possible.
Can I invite others to participate?
Yes! We suggest reaching out to those who think differently from you and telling them why you think they would like this conversation and why you are registered.
What if I have questions or need to cancel?
If you have questions, you can contact Chelsea at chelsea@livingroomconversations.org. Details about how to cancel online or via email will be in the confirmation email you receive just after you register.
