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 receive an email from Heather Rocker to register your attendees. Each lead will enter the attendees’ information. The week before the event, the attendees will receive a notification from ClickBid to create a log in. We will send reminders to register your attendees as the event gets closer and this will allow you to update your attendees as needed up until Monday, April 22nd.

You will not be able to make changes after April 22nd online. After April 22nd, 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 rachel@mywit.org so we can ensure they get the information for the event.

If you have any questions or issues completing registration, please contact Rachel Collins at rachel@mywit.org

Note: Logos cannot be pulled from websites or embedded in word documents or emails. If you have additional questions about the logo formats, please do not hesitate to contact us at events@mywit.org. Logos that are of poor resolution that do not conform to these guidelines may appear pixelated, grainy or blurry in printed materials.

LINK TO COMPANY WEBSITE: IF NOT PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED, DUE IMMEDIATELY
