Q: When does the event actually start and end?
A: The full agenda can be found on the event website. The official University dates are from 29 November to December 3, 2023. Optional MyEO events will take place before and after the official University dates. We invite you to visit the MyEO section for regular updates. Registration will open the morning of Wednesday, 29 November, with the opening general session at 4 pm, followed by a welcome back party in Sydney. Off-site activities will take place on Saturday, 2 December and the event will conclude with a social that evening. Attendees may schedule departure flights for Sunday. For more information, visit the agenda section.
Q: Do I have to check-in or can I just show up?
A: You need to check in at the EO registration desk. You will need your name badge to be admitted to all of the event’s programming. If you or your guest have not registered for the event on EOnetwork, we can accommodate your on-site registration, as long as the event is not sold out.
Q: Can I bring a guest to the event?
A: Members are allowed to bring one guest who is over the age of 18. Your guest can be registered as a “Full Guest” or as a “Limited Guest.” Full guests have access to everything a Member does, including all program meals, evening socials, the entire learning program and one off-site activity. Limited guests will enjoy program meals, socials and one off-site activity, but will not be admitted to any part of the learning program.
Q: Can I bring an additional guest to one evening social?
A: A la carte registration is not available at these events and members are allowed to register only one guest.
Q: What are off-sites and do I need to pay and register for them?
A: Off-sites are social and cultural activities that take place in the city where the event is located. Often, they highlight a fun and unique attribute of the host area. All registrants will be informed about the registration process by e-mail and on the off-sites section of the website.
Q: What if an off-site I am interested in is sold out?
In some cases, an off-site requires a user pay supplement fee at the time of off-site registration.
A: Registration for off-site activities is first-come, first-served and there are no waiting lists. We recommend that you arrive 30 minutes prior to the off-site departure time to receive a wait card. If there are any no-shows to the off-site activity, we will allow those with a wait card to attend on a first-come, first-served basis.
Q: Can I pre-register for breakout sessions?
A: No. The breakout sessions are first-come, first-served, as each room has its own capacity. We encourage you to read up on our speaker bios and abstracts on the learning section or mobile app (available for download in September.)
Q: What are after-hours?
A: After-hours are arranged by the host EO chapter. Following the evening socials, you can continue your night at popular nightlife venues. All members are “on their own” for drinks and transportation back to the hotel.
Q: I still have more questions — who can help me?
A: Contact us at [email protected] and we will do our best to help you in every way we can. On site, look for us at the EO registration desk or ask anyone walking around with a yellow EO Staff name badge. See you soon!
