Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Registration Questions

  • Full Summit registration includes a light breakfast, coffee and tea service; plus dinner and a cash bar at the reception on Thursday, April 27. Participants will be able to purchase their own lunch from a variety of local food trucks and vendors on site both days.

  • Full Summit registration includes 2 days of virtual sessions (April 18 & 19) AND 2 days of in-person programming (April 27 & 28). You do not have to attend all days. In Whova, you’ll be able to review all the sessions, and add them to your own agenda (here’s an 8-min orientation video). This is how we are tracking the in-person sessions on April 27 & 28, which have maximum capacities - and we expect them to fill. If you do not add a field trip to your Whova agenda, we may not be able to accommodate you. (And if your plans change, please remove the field trip from your agenda to release your spot to someone else.) If you miss any of the virtual sessions, you will have access to recordings for 6 months after the Summit.

  • No - check-payers don’t need to pay the credit card processing and Whova fees.

  • Virtual-only tickets: Due to the virtual nature of this event, refunds are not available. If you cannot attend the live event, you will still have access to all recorded content for 6 months. Registrations may be transferred to another person before Friday, April 7, 2023.

    Full Summit tickets: Due to limited capacity, we anticipate there will be a waitlist for the in-person segment of this event. If your plans change, please let us know by Friday, April 7, 2023 - we will issue a full refund and release your seat to another. If you are feeling unwell the day of the event, please stay home and let us know - we will issue a full refund.
