Tiebreaker needed for referral program!

 

We have received entries for our referral program but so far it’s a tie! So we’re extending the deadline until Sep. 12.

All non-members have to do is say who recommended them during registration and the organization with the most referrals wins a complimentary registration! Non-members and members alike can win. Any existing registration for the winning team as of Sep. 12 can be refunded as well.

We also have volunteer opportunities onsite for deeply discounted registration, such as registration desk, attendee assistance at breakfast and lunch and wayfinding. Email us for more information.
