FAQs
No. Registrations are individual, and all fees listed are per-person rates.
Yes. There is a free, limited virtual option for Product Group meeting attendance. Each scheduled in-person meeting will also open a Teams Meeting, whereby those unable to attend in person can listen in. All Product Group members will receive meeting invitations with appropriate login credentials. There is no virtual option for Tuesday programming.
We’ve limited virtual options for a few reasons:
- Many members have told us that they find greater value in doing Product Group work in person at the Annual Meeting, so we’re going to focus resources on an exceptional in-person experience.
- Elaborate virtual tech gets in the way and degrades the in-person experience.
- We’ve enhanced the in-person Product Group experience with the addition of the Product Group Bootcamp.
ISEA does not have rooms reserved for private meetings. To inquire about meeting space for your organization, please contact the hotel directly.Â
