Here are a couple of registration questions we get all the time:
Most of our events sell out so we get this question all the time. If an event says that it is sold out, it is sold out. Assuming most (we account for no-shows) of the people that register show up, we will be at capacity for the venue and can't let anyone else in. However, if we have a higher number of no-shows than we anticipate we will have room at the event for a few walk-ins. You can try showing up at the venue and paying the "At The Door" rate, but we can't guarantee you a spot in the event unless you pre-register.
Note: We can't process credit cards at the door, so if you plan to just walk-in, please bring cash or a check. We don't accept IOU's or any other form of payment "At The Door".
The only way to secure a spot at the event is to register online. We understand that some people don't have a credit card and/or aren't comfortable entering their credit card information online, but we can only hold a spot for people who complete the registration online.
You are welcome to show up at the venue the night of the event without registering in advance, but you will be required to pay the "At The Door" price and you are not guaranteed a spot at the event. If the event is 100% sold out, we might not have room for you if you have not registered in advance.
Events range in cost from $10.00 to $50.00 depending on the type of event, venue, etc. The current pricing is always listed on the event registration page.
When you register online you will receive a receipt and ticket by email. If you register at the door, we can provide a handwritten receipt.
In general, the online regisitration system works really well, but some users experience problems purchasing tickets from their work computers. We can't be certain, but it seems to be caused by firewall settings on some corporate networks.
Everyone who has had a problem registering from their office computer has been able to register from their home computer or other computer that is not part of their corporate network. Please try registering from another computer.
Eventbrite (our event registration system) does not link to our website at the moment. Therefore, we can't display who is coming to an event on the event page on NetworkedEvents.com. We realize this is a desirable feature and have thoughts about how we might deal with this in the future, but for now the two systems are separate.
If you register and can't make it, we appreciate you letting us know - send an email to the address listed on your confirmation message. As we note on the registration page and in this FAQ, we don't offer refunds or credits.
Back To TopWe receive a lot of requests related to ticket purchases. We want to be as helpful and accommodating as we can, but we can not accommodate every special request. Here is a little more info:
The ticket you received via email is not 100% necessary, but it does confirm that you paid in advance. We have a list of everyone who registered at the door and we can look up your ticket if we need to...this just takes extra time.
It is helpful if you can bring the ticket, but it is not 100% required.
When you register online you will automatically receive an email confirmation that includes a .pdf of your event ticket. We sometimes send out emails to people who are attending events on the day of the event with a copy of their ticket, but don't count on this. We can't provide individual registration confirmations, so please keep the original confirmation you receive.
No. We don't offer refunds or credits towards future events. Our refund policy is included on the event registration page.
We can't edit the information you enter when you register. However, we can offer you a blank nametag at the event so you can create a name tag with the correct information
We can't transfer your registration to another attendee.
Back To TopWhen you register for an event you are added to the invitation list for all future events. You can also stay in the loop by becoming a member of our online community. To join, please visit http://www.networkedevents.com. It is free to join the online community.
You can also choose to just subscribe to our email newsletter list by visiting our website and entering your address on the right side of the page (look for the blue box that says email list)
There are a couple of reasons why you might not have received an email invitation to one of our events:
1.) You're a jerk...seriously, we want to fill the room with great professionals. Occasionally we have to remove someone from the list because other attendees have complained about them.
2.) It's an oversight -- don't immediately assume we intentionally omitted you from our list. It might have been a technical glitch.
3.) The email landed in your spam folder - Add our email "info ATSIGN networkedevents DOT com" to your address book or whitelist to ensure your receive our emails in the future.
If you would prefer to be removed from our invitation list, you can unsubscribe using the "unsubscribe" link contained in every email invitation we send. Please note: if you unsubscribe we can not add you back onto the list. You will have to add yourself again later if you want to be added again.
We use the contact information you provide to invite you to other networking events, share helpful information and community updates. We won't ever share, rent or sell your contact information with anyone.
Back To TopWe don't publish an event attendee list on our website, but we do include a list of attendees in some of our email newsletter. We used to publish a complete list of the attendees on the event registration page, but someone raised some privacy concerns and we had to turn this feature off. The system we use for event registrations will not allow us to selectively display a list of only certain attendees...it is all or nothing...this means we can't edit the list to remove people who would prefer not to have their name listed on the web.
We realize this was a popular feature and hope to be able to bring it back soon. In the meantime, we are publishing a list of attendees in some of our email newsletters so you can see who is coming to a specific event.
When we select a venue, we do take parking into consideration. We try to always choose venues with inexpensive parking options. If the event is in the city, we try to choose venues that are close to public transportation.
No. This event is not designed to be a place to pitch your products and services. This event is designed to be a place to meet and get to know new people. You might end up making a sale or meeting a new client, but please don't show up expecting to pitch everyone in the room.
We strongly encourage you to setup one on one meetings with the people you meet at the event.
This event is a professional networking event, but it is also social and we hope it is fun.
Our events are simple. You arrive and receive a name tag. Then you mingle and meet new people. If you don't know anyone in the room, we have several facilitators at every event who know other people and can help you meet the people you are interested in meeting. Facilitators wear a red nametag.
We are always in search of new venues to host events. If you know of a bar or restaurant that would like to have 150-200 professionals visit on a Tuesday or Wednesday night, please Contact Us to provide an introduction.
