Registering Your Guests

As a Sponsor you will receive tickets for the main event as well as an allotted amount of tickets to the VIP reception. Each sponsor lead will log into GiveSmart and select their sponsor type. Please use promo code “COMP” to override the price as you have already paid your sponsorship. Each lead will enter their information and then create a log in for GiveSmart. You can enter your attendee names at time of purchase or edit later through the email you receive upon registration. We will also send reminders to add registrants as the event gets closer and this will allow you to update your table attendees as needed up until May 20th.

You will not be able to make changes after May 20th online. After May 20th, a registered guest that is no longer able to make the event may replace his/herself. The new registrant that is replacing a previously registered guest will have to know who he/she is replacing then email events@mywit.org so we can ensure they have a badge ready for them at the event.

If you have any questions or issues completing registration, please contact Events at events@mywit.org.
