Frequently Asked Questions - Answered

Whova App and Communication Questions

Q: Is there a conference website?

A: Yes, you’re in the right spot.

Q: Where can I subscribe to this email list?

A: Click here to subscribe to our email list for WorkSource Georgia Academy Conference Email Updates.

Q: Do I have to build an agenda or pick sessions in the Whova app before the conference?

A: Nope! Doing so is entirely optional.

Speakers

Q: When do I need to have my bio and profile information submitted?

A: We recommend having your profile finalized by Dec. 2 so that folks have the latest information when visiting your profile during the conference, however, you are able to edit your Whova profile whenever you like, even after this deadline if needed.

Q: Do I need to email my headshot or bio to anyone?

A: An automated email was distributed to speakers that requested your headshot and bio via an online form. This is the easiest way to submit your information as it will update on the Whova app automatically and it’s the preferred method for submitting all of your speaker info. You are welcome to edit your profile via the Whova mobile app as often as necessary.

Q: When are PowerPoint Presentations due?

A: PowerPoint presentations are due to Andrea (adiaz@tcsg.edu) by COB Nov. 22 so that we are able to load them onto USB thumb drives in time for the conference. We appreciate your adherence to this deadline.

Registration Questions

Q: We registered Person A but they can no longer attend and we would like for Person B to go in their place. How can this be accommodated?

A: Unfortunately, we cannot transfer registrations between individuals. Please request a cancellation for Person A and have Person B register for the event.

Q: Will each individual need a ticket? What email address should I use to register?

Q: I need to register my colleagues to attend. How can I do this?

A: Please register them by using their names and email addresses. For example, you need to register Charlie Bob and John Smith. Please do not register them “under your name.” Please register them using:

  • Charlie Bob – cbob@whatever.com
  • John Smith – jsmith@whatever.com

Registering your colleagues with YOUR name and email address will delay processing.

Q: What are common issues folks are having while registering?

Q: I submitted an incorrect buyer name when registering. Why can you not edit an incorrect name in Whova?

Whova: “The order itself and accompanying confirmation email under attendee order is locked w/ the original name.” We will have to refund the order to correct the buyer name.

Q: When can I expect an invoice after registering?

A: Within 1 – 2 weeks.

Q: When is payment due for the conference?

A: Due by Dec. 2, the start of the conference.

Q: How much are tickets?

A: General Admission is $200. Speakers/OWD Staff/Board Members are free.

Q: Where can I learn more about booking a hotel?

A: Scroll up to view our Accommodations section. Hotel booking cut-off date is Nov. 1.
