Ticketing & Registration
When you click “Register,” you will be prompted to answer if you’d like to register yourself or a group. You must click “Group.” From there, the registration system will generate a list of employees from your organization who already have an account with INN, allowing you to choose the ones you’d like to register. If there is a member of your organization that is not listed, you must add them to your organization, complete the prompted details, and then register them.
Yes, you can request a ticket transfer until May 11. However, INN member tickets may only be transferred to individuals affiliated with an INN member organization. You must complete this form to initiate a transfer.
Yes, you can request a refund until May 11. There is a $35 processing fee associated with the refund. After May 11, we are unable to process refunds. If you are requesting a refund because you received a complimentary speaker or sponsor ticket, the full cost of your ticket will be refunded. You must complete this form to initiate a refund.
On April 16, we will close registration for INNY’s tickets. After April 16, a waitlist will open for INNY’s registration. Those that have already purchased INN Days tickets can also join this waitlist to purchase an INNY’s ticket at a later time.
Unfortunately, the Nonprofit News Awards (INNYs) tickets are NON-REFUNDABLE.
We don’t offer formal, full scholarships to attend INN Days, but we do provide Early Bird and INN member rates to make attendance more affordable. For additional support, INN members are also eligible for travel stipends. If you or your organization is facing a particular hardship, please reach out to gatherings@inn.org.
