REGISTRATION PROCESS If you would like to bring your supporting demonstrator or guests to convention (or just to Awards Night and the after-party), you can now register them when you complete your convention registration. Click the ‘add supporting demonstrator or guest’ button and select either supporting demonstrator or guest (to register for convention) or Awards Night guest (if your guest is just coming to Awards Night). Please remember that a supporting demonstrator is the person who has been added by Demonstrator Support to your demonstrator profile. Please use a unique e-mail address for them when registering. Please keep in mind that when you register, you will not be able to use your demonstrator payment profile and must enter a valid credit card or Master Card/Visa debit card number for payment. Once payment is processed you will receive an e-mail with your confirmation number. Please keep this number handy. Due to the registration process, it may take an hour or two for your registration to display under ‘Events you are registered for.’ EVENT WAIVER If you called Demonstrator Support to register for this event or received a transfer registration and have not yet accepted the event waiver, your registration is not complete. Please accept the waiver online before 16 April. If for some reason you are not able to accept the waiver online prior to 16 April, you will need to sign a hard copy when you pick up your name badge and convention bag. To accept the waiver, go to Events>Register>Events You Are Registered For. Click on ‘View.’ You will need the confirmation number you were sent in your registration confirmation e-mail. Click on ‘Modify.’ Click on ‘Information.’ Read the waiver and replace the word “demo” with your initials. Supporting demonstrators and guests will need to sign the waiver when checking in. If you do not accept the waiver online, please print and sign a copy from Events>Event Registration Policies, then scan/e-mail it to [email protected]. Otherwise, you will need to sign a hard copy when you pick up your name badge at check-in. AWARDS NIGHT AND AFTER PARTY Plan to join us on Friday for a special Awards Night and after party. And it will be a party! During this exciting evening we’ll celebrate you and what you’ve done to make Stampin’ Up! Australia and Stampin’ Up! New Zealand so successful. There is no additional cost for you, your registered supporting demonstrator or convention guest to attend. If you’d like to invite a guest to attend the Awards Night evening (but no other convention activities), you may register your guest for $55 AUD at the same time you complete your convention registration. Please note that the after party is going to follow the same format as last year, so you’ll want to plan to have dinner before Awards Night starts. We will be serving dessert canapés and beverages.
MEAL OPTIONS When you register, please indicate if you would like a standard, vegetarian, dairy or gluten-free meal. If you have other dietary requirements that do not fall within the four meal choices offered, please come adequately prepared with enough food to get you through the event. Our events are growing larger each year and it is no longer possible to cater to every individual request. As these events are heavily subsidised, it is not possible to offer a discount for those who choose to provide their own meal. HOTEL INFORMATION Stampin’ Up! has not made any special arrangements with any of the hotels in the Gold Coast area; however, there are many hotels near the convention centre that you may contact for reservations. SUPPLIES TO BRING Stampin’ Up! will provide all of the supplies you’ll need to complete your stamping projects throughout the event. SPECIAL NEEDS If you have a special need (for example, if you are hearing impaired) and you require special arrangements, please let us know by Monday, 13 April 2015 so we can accommodate your request. If you notify us of your request after this, we might not be able to make the arrangements you need. Please e-mail your request to us at [email protected]. Please note ‘special need’ on the subject line. SWAPS AND SHARE PROJECT The number of swap items you bring to convention is entirely up to you. Remember to use only current Stampin’ Up! products on your swap projects. To give a swap project to Stampin’ Up!, leave your stamped items in the swap-drop basket. Projects given to Stampin’ Up! will be taken to the Stampin’ Up! office and may be used for future events or as needed. Remember that the purpose of swapping is to meet new friends, get new ideas, stamp a lot and have fun! Please swap with anyone who asks to swap with you. RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITY® CARDS
