BEFORE YOU ARRIVE

Preparing for your Institute.

Complete these key Sponsor Hub deliverables to ensure your team is prepared and positioned for a successful Institute experience.

Verify Key Contacts, Submit Your Delegate Profiling Question, Company Details & Logo

Review your Key Contacts and company profile details to ensure your information, logo, and event communications are accurate and up to date. You’ll also submit one Delegate Profiling Question for inclusion in the pre-event questionnaire. Responses offer valuable insight into delegate priorities, challenges, and business needs—helping your team make more informed meeting selections and prepare for relevant, productive conversations onsite.

Register Onsite Attendees & Submit Hotel Needs

Identify all individuals from your organization who will be attending the event, including any presenters, and register them through the Onsite Attendees section of the Sponsor Hub. Once submitted, your Operations Lead will add each attendee to the event roster and coordinate their hotel accommodations and other important event details.

Business Meeting Selections

Review the Delegate Profile Summaries and identify the organizations you’re most interested in connecting with during your pre-scheduled one-on-one business meetings. Rank your preferences in priority order to help guide the scheduling process and use the Opt-Out function to identify any organizations you do not wish to meet with. Your selections, along with delegate preferences, will help us create the most relevant and valuable meeting schedule possible.
