How do I receive updates on the conference?
Join Net Impact and sign up for Leading Business or one of the other Net Impact newsletters. Conference updates will be featured in a special conference section.  You can also receive conference updates via email, Facebook, or Twitter.

I produce sustainable products and would like to support the conference.  How can I get involved?
Unfortunately our venue permits us only a limited amount of in-kind donations. If you would like to showcase your product at the conference, we highly recommend joining the Net Impact Expo. If you are interested in getting involved with the Expo please email expo@netimpact.org. 

Registration

How much does it cost to attend?
Registration fees differ for students and professionals, and Net Impact members receive a significant discount. To join Net Impact and take advantage of the package discount as well as our many other great programs, please visit the conference website and begin registering. You will be prompted to add a membership as part of the registration process. Note, if you register through the main Net Impact Membership site, rather than the 2011 Conference site, you will not receive the special package price. See the complete list of registration fees for more information.

What does my registration pay for?
Your conference fee covers your attendance at keynotes, panel sessions, and workshops, as well as your copy of the guidebook. Breakfast, coffee breaks, and lunches are also covered within conference fees.

What is the greening fee?
Net Impact is committed to sustainability, but often greener resources and supplies have a price premium over 'conventional' alternatives. The greening fee allows Net Impact to offset the increased cost incurred, and to expand its greening efforts.

I represent a school. Can I reserve tickets as a group?
Your school can pre-pay for tickets at the current price.  Please contact conference@netimpact.org for more information.

Accommodations

Where should I stay? Is there a host hotel?

The Expo is open Friday, October 28, from 10:30 am - 4:30 pm, and does not run on Saturday. The Expo hall is in the convention center, directly adjacent to breakout session rooms and the lunch space.

Is the Expo a job fair and/or career event?
The Net Impact Expo is a unique and exciting networking opportunity to connect with like-minded companies and organizations.
