Always held the last saturday of July, and moving from state to state. The SGGA is about people gathering to talk and exchange ideas about sugar gliders. The MAIN focus of the SGGA is and always will be, education and community unification. To see hands on and learn how different people do things, discussing different views and techniques as well as meeting face to face, the people you see on net, are  experiences that is invaluable.

     We watch MAGIC happen, and some we create on our own. The friendships made, OLD and NEW will always be a huge part of the SGGA.  Anything can happen at an SGGA, there may be tears, there will be lots of laughs, smiles and heartwhelming stories.

     The SGGA is what you want it to be, it is what you make it. You will get out of it, what you want, there should be very few questions regarding gliders and their care left unanswered in your head when you leave.

     The actual conference will start the morning of Saturday July 30th 2011. There are many things that are planned and other surprises that people always have up their sleeves.

     The registration fee will include admission to the conference and the vending areas, regardless if you plan on attending them or not.

     The Friday night block party and welcoming festivities including the food and drink will be paid for by Lauries Glider Gazette

Many people will arrive at the SGGA a day or two before the actual conference just to meet up with old friends or make new ones. Some will want to tour around the local sites. Some will also stay a day later just to visit some more or rest before heading home.

     Please think of your first time as an opportunity to meet and speak with as many people as you can. Take every opportunity to learn something new from everyone.  There are many people that have attended for many many years and they may seem more comfortable and relaxed, soon they too will make you feel right at home. Give everyone a chance, you will find the real people behind the names, they are not always what you may think they are, some may really surprise you.

Sugar Gliders are welcome to the event.  The BML Mix and HPW will  be provided , You will need to bring everything else that you may need for the care and feeding of your babies.
