On March 3rd, 2025, we hosted our Newbie Night—an info session to cover the essentials, from “What is SideBurn?” and “Can I bring my chinchilla?” to practical tips on packing, getting involved, and what to expect at this year’s gathering. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned attendee, there was something for everyone!

If you missed the event or need a refresher on key details, we’ve shared our slide deck below for easy access.
