When will I receive my conference badge?
You will receive your name badge and handbook when you check-in on-site.
While registering, my credit card was declined. Why is this?
There can be a number of reasons why a credit card can be declined. One of which is if the bank which issued the card does not recognize Technology Vision Group LLC as a vendor. Banks may decline the transaction even if there are sufficient funds in the account. This will require a phone call to the bank for pre-authorization of the transaction. Another reason for a “declined" message can be that the billing address does not match the billing address for the card. The billing address must match the address to where the bill is sent.
Do I receive an ad in the conference handbook?
Certain levels of sponsorship include ads in the conference handbook. Contact Christine Bennett for details.
What sponsorship packages are available and what benefits are included with each?
A variety of sponsorship packages at different price levels are available, which offer exceptional promotional opportunities to a targeted audience of decision makers. For details, please contact Nancy Connelly.
