EXTRAVAGANZA FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSHere are some answers to frequently asked questions.What are my payment options? Will CEUs be available?Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) will be uploaded directly to your Network Member profile within two weeks following the completion of the event. What is the difference between an Intensive Care Course and an Early Bird Workshop? Intensive Care Courses are pre-events that focus on a single subject, in-depth, for 10-12 contact hours. There is an extra cost for participating in the Intensive Care Courses and you can add this on your event registration. These courses happen prior to the Extravaganza and require participants to arrive at one day prior to the start of the main event. Early Bird Workshops are available for all Extravaganza participants who arrive at the event early and are looking for some additional learning experiences prior to the first General Session. There is no additional cost to attend Early Bird Workshops. Feel free to jump right in. What are the receptions, and do I need an invitation?
There are receptions listed on the schedule. Some of the receptions are marked "closed" and are by invitation only. Receptions that don't indicate "closed" are open to all Extravaganza participants. Feel free to join - it's a great way to meet other participants. What if I have questions during the event? Where should I get answers? If you have questions during the Extravaganza, please look for the Event Check In area. Our Hospitality Team will be there to answer questions and to help you out. Or, just find someone who is wearing a Network name tag...they'll be glad to help you! What happens if my roommate doesn't show up? The individual staying in the room is then responsible for the full cost of the room. What is your refund/cancellation policy? Please understand that the Extravaganza has hard costs that relate to the number of people who register for the event. If someone cancels their registration, we still have to pay those costs. Cancellations before December 1 will be refunded 50% of registration fees. After December 1, we are unable to refund any of the registration fee since we’ve already committed that money to the hotel. To cancel your registration, email Laurie Hoium. You are able to transfer your registration from the onsite event to the digital event, however we are not able to refund the difference in registration cost. Does each participant need their own Network Profile?
I have questions, who should I contact?
Yes! This event can't happen without volunteers like you. We would love to have you use your gifts at the event. Indicate your area of interest during the registration process.
You will want to fly into the St. Louis International Airport. (The airport code is STL). It is a 30 mile ride from the airport to the hotel. We have once again partnered with Delta for discounted fares.
Lyft and Uber provide pick-up services at the airport, look for the Rideshare pickup signs as you exit the airport.
