Government Group Registration Procedures

For our 2022 Federal Small Business Conference (SBC), we are able to create a group invoice so that all registrations can be paid with one credit card or ACH payment. Government group registrations will be handled in the following manner.

• Gov Organization must have its attendees register through the appropriate Registration Form (Attendee, Booth Staff, or Speaker).
• The registrant must complete the Registration Form and answer all required questions.
• The registrant will select "SPECIAL" as their Payment Method.
  • Payment Method defaults to "credit card."  Click on the down arrow and select "SPECIAL" from the list 
• After all individuals have registered, please send an email to registration@same.org and submit a list of the individuals who should be included on the group invoice.
• A group invoice will be created based on the list and sent to the individual who requested it.
• Please be sure the registration fee is correct for all attendees.  There are different fees for SAME members and Non-members.
• DEADLINE:  Registrations must be completed by and the list submitted by Friday, October 21, 2022.
• DEADLINE:  All payments must be made prior to COB on Friday, October 28, 2022.

Registration Transfer:
To transfer your registration to someone else in your company, please have the substitute register for SBC.  When they get to the Payment page, click the down arrow for the “Payment Method” and select “send invoice” from the menu.  Complete the the Registration, but do not pay.  Then, send an email to registration@same.org when this is completed to request the transfer.  The original registration will be cancelled and the fee paid will be transferred to the substitute’s registration.  *If the substitute’s fee is different (member vs non-member) the difference will be charged.*  Transfer requests will be accepted through COB (5:00 pm, EST) on Friday, October 28, 2022.  After this deadline, transfers must be completed onsite.
