Registering Your Guests

As a Sponsor you will receive an allotted amount of tickets for the main event as well as the VIP reception. Each sponsor lead will receive an email from Heather Rocker to register your attendees. Each lead will log into their WIT company account to register. We will send reminders as the event gets closer and this will allow you to update your attendees as needed up until October 4th. 

You will not be able to make changes after October 4th online. After October 4th, a registered guest that is no longer able to make the event may replace himself/herself. The new registrant that is replacing a previously registered guest will have to know who he/she is replacing and email lfacer@mywit.org so we can ensure they get the information for the event.

If you have any questions or issues completing registration, please contact Lacey Facer at lfacer@mywit.org

Sponsor Material Guidelines and Ad Specifications

If something needs to be corrected, please provide a high-resolution copy of your company logo in both of the following formats:

  •  .EPS (Vector) — Color
  • .AI — Hi-Res Color

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 lfacer@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: CONFIRM LINK ON WIT AWARDS WEBSITE

A link to your company’s website will be included in various communications on WIT’s website. If you have a women’s affinity group, consider providing a link to that rather than your homepage, as that will be of interest to our audience.
