FAQs

 What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?  

There will be reserved parking for this event, and you will receive a Parking Pass via the email address you have entered here, as well as driving directions, on the Friday before the event.

What can/can't I bring to the event?

You may bring a laptop/tablet if you wish to use that for notes.  You may also bring a camera or cell phone. Since we will be encouraging you to participate in our Instagram Contest during the day, you should also set up an Instagram account beforehand if you wish to participate.

Is my registration/ticket transferrable?

Your ticket is transferrable if you will email us at WinthropRegionalSBDC@gmail.com with "Women's Business Conference Registration Change" in the subject line, and give us the email and telephone contact information for the person who will be taking your place.  What is NOT transferrable in this case, would be a change in the t-shirt size as we will have only enough and the exact sizes as ordered originally.
