FAQs

 When should I plan to arrive?

Plan to arrive on Tuesday, May 30 for early name badge pickup. You won’t be alone, so be ready for some pre-event networking.

Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event? What are the terms of attending?

While NamesCon is geared towards professionals, we understand that in some cases it may be easier for attendees to bring their families along. Children are allowed, but if they are over 16, they will have to purchase a ticket for entry. We ask that parents please ensure that quiet spaces are respected for all sessions and presentations.

Individuals under the age of 21 who are attending evening events will be given an identification wristband. At venues where alcohol is served, all attendees are subject to ID checks from bar staff at any time.

Please see our Terms and Conditions here.

What are my hotel and transportation options?

We encourage you to stay at the Omni Hotel Austin Downtown—this is the locus of NamesCon 2023, and the other venues we may use will be within easy walking distance of this point. We also lined up a really good rate for NamesCon attendees, but the room block will definitely sell out. Parking is available for $52 per night, but you won't need a car to take part in any NamesCon-related events once you arrive. The journey from the airport takes around 15 minutes in a cab or rideshare. You can find more hotel info by visiting namescon.com.

What can't I bring to the event?

Hoverboards, bodysuits, non-religious face coverings except for masks to prevent COVID-19 transmission, and materials for suitcasing purposes will not be permitted.

Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?

Please contact producers@namescon.com

Is my registration refundable/transferable?

Event Passes are non-refundable under any circumstances. If you have purchased a ticket and cannot attend, you may transfer your ticket to another individual or to an upcoming NamesCon event. The only exception is in the event of a pandemic-related restriction or lockdown in Austin or the attendee’s point of departure.

Other rules around ticket registration and name badge appearance?

You MUST enter a unique email address for each attendee. Without this, we are not able to print your badge or grant you access to the app.

No "placeholder" ticket purchases are allowed.

Special characters or punctuation are not permitted on name badges; if you enter special characters or punctuation into the Eventbrite "Name" or "Company" fields, it will be automatically edited out by the badge printer.

Please choose ONE company to list on your badge (for example, "company A / company B" will be edited to the first company only) and note that there are maximum 14 characters to work with on the company line of the name badge.

Can I update my registration information?

Please contact us with company, title, or spelling error corrections and we will be happy to assist.

How will you stay in touch?

Upon registering for any NamesCon event, you will be added to our mailing list so you can receive important messages. You may opt out of our newsletter at any time, however, you may still receive direct emails from Eventbrite for critical show information.

Attendee Privacy

We take your privacy seriously. Attendee emails are never shared with third parties. All registered attendees will be visible within the mobile app attendee list (only visible to other NamesCon attendees) and other individuals may direct message you or request a meeting via the app. If you have any privacy concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.
