Thank you very much for the overwhelming response to our Early Bird Registration for the 8th International Urban Sketchers Symposium (happening in Chicago, USA on July 26-29 2017). We sold out in a few minutes, considering that there were so many sketchers all over the world, all logged in at the same time, to get a limited number of passes.
If you missed the early-bird workshop registration, don’t worry -- there's still plenty of time to secure passes and select your workshops. Standard registration opens on Saturday, February 18 at 5 pm CST (23:00 GMT).
This year, we are offering passes at two levels: Workshop and Basic.

Programming and faculty details are available on the Symposium Site, and the schedule is available on the Schedule page.
