The registration form collects information from attendees including their name, title, email and organization. Attendees must acknowledge understanding because the conference organizers will use this information to send conference-related emails and to track registrations. Additionally, attendee names and job titles will be displayed on the Hopin platform during the conference so they can network with others, and CANHEIT and its representatives may take photos, videos and screenshots, which may or may not include attendee names in reference to CANHEIT 2023.

16. Can multiple tickets be purchased at once?2023-05-25T13:49:51-04:00

There is no option to purchase multiple tickets at once. Conference tickets must be purchased individually as each ticket is linked directly to the attendee’s email address, which gives them access to the Hopin platform and the hybrid components of the conference. This also ensures that attendees can identify any dietary restrictions or accommodation requirements during the registration process.
