As WCSS continues to grow, we have moved to an application-based process due to limited capacity on the venue. Our intention is to curate a balanced and diverse gathering that reflects the broader sauna ecosystem across North America.

WCSS is designed to bring together a mix of operators, builders, manufactures, practitioners, hospitality leaders, designers, educators, facilitators, and culture stewards. The application process helps ensure a thoughtful balance of perspectives, experiences, and contributions across the event.

Application Process

1. You Apply — A short form.

2. We Review — The WCSS team reads every application.

3. You Hear Back — We'll review your application and follow up with our decision, along with everything you need to prepare for the event. If accepted, you'll be invited to complete a short logistics form, select your lodging preferences, and purchase your ticket. We aim to respond within 3-4 weeks of receiving your application.

Ticket Pricing

For more details on ticket types, pricing, and accommodation, please view here.

Note: WCSS offers discounted contributor tickets (volunteers, facilitators, etc.) rather than complimentary access. One of the core values of the summit is keeping the event as accessible and community-centered as possible while still supporting the real costs of hosting the gathering.

WCSS is built around knowledge sharing, participation, and collective contribution. Discounted tickets allow us to recognize contributors while maintaining a sustainable and equitable model for the event as a whole.

ACCOMMODATION IS PURCHASED/ALLOCATED UPON ACCEPTANCE.
