There are limited spots available in WAM classes, and they often sell out, so we ask that if you are not woman-identified (cisgender or transgender), nonbinary, or gender-expansive, you reconsider enrolling in the class. We will not turn anyone away, but please be mindful that if you take up a seat in the class, that is one less woman, non-binary, or gender-expansive individual that we can serve. We thank you for your understanding in advance and for joining us in our mission to advance women and girls in music production and the recording arts.Visit our website: https://womensaudiomission.org/training/wamacademy/Become a WAM Member here. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/san-francisco/womens-audio-mission-spring-academy-2026-level-2-san-francisco/100001981947304741 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 412, max: 412, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: San Francisco - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Women's Audio Mission - **lat**: 37.7726402 - **long**: -122.4099154 - **full address**: Women's Audio Mission, Check each course for location, San Francisco, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Women's Audio Mission - Spring Academy 2026 Level 2 (San Francisco) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/e54a306c2693c11257af8d3304d96fd54222ccde7f39d470f8794773f926ac39-rimg-w1200-h600-dc160a09-gmir.jpg?v=1769724145 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Women's Audio Mission - Spring Academy 2026 Level 2 (San Francisco) being held? - **A:** Women's Audio Mission - Spring Academy 2026 Level 2 (San Francisco) takes place on Wed, 18 Mar, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Wed, 13 May, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Women's Audio Mission, Check each course for location, San Francisco, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Women's Audio Mission - Spring Academy 2026 Level 2 (San Francisco)? - **A:** Tickets for Women's Audio Mission - Spring Academy 2026 Level 2 (San Francisco) are priced at USD 412 per person.
