Tickets, pricing & access

Passes, group rates and what is included

What does a conference pass include?

A PMWC conference pass provides access to all three days, Main Tracks 1–5, Showcase Tracks S1–S2, the exhibit hall and PMWC networking receptions, plus eligible post-event session materials. A pass does not include airfare, hotel, transportation or purchased meals. See tickets and pricing.

Are one-day or exhibit-only passes available?

No. PMWC offers full-conference passes rather than separate one-day or exhibit-only passes. The exhibit hall and program stages are integrated, and eligible post-event content helps attendees catch sessions they cannot attend live.

Are group, student, academic, government or nonprofit discounts available?

Yes. Group pricing is applied during registration when you select multiple tickets. Reduced rates are also offered for eligible students, academia, government and nonprofit attendees. Select the appropriate ticket type on the tickets page. Prices and promotional deadlines may change.

Can I purchase tickets now and enter attendee names later?

Yes. You can reserve tickets at the current rate and provide or update attendee details afterward. Follow the completion deadline and instructions in your registration email or account. This period is for completing ticket information; it is not a refund window. If you need a brief extension, contact [email protected] before the deadline.

What if I am unemployed or need a reduced rate?

Contact [email protected] to ask which registration category you may qualify for. Any special rate is subject to eligibility and availability; it is not automatic.

Are meals included?

Meals are available for purchase. Water and light refreshments are provided during conference breaks. Hotel, restaurant and other meal purchases are separate.

Refunds, transfers & badge rules

Please review these policies before purchasing

Before purchasing: Tickets are non-refundable. BUT you can transfer a ticket at no charge to another eligible attendee or to a future PMWC conference if the request is made before the applicable deadline. Email [email protected] with your order details. See the transfer terms for eligibility, deadlines and the one-transfer limit.
Can I cancel my registration and receive a refund?

PMWC tickets are non-refundable and non-cancelable, including if an attendee is unable to attend or a visa is denied.

BUT you can transfer your ticket at no charge to another eligible person in the same ticket category or to a future PMWC conference, if you request the transfer before the applicable deadline. Email [email protected] with your order number and registration email. Transfers are limited to once per ticket and are subject to the PMWC Terms and Conditions.

Can I transfer a ticket to another person or a future PMWC event?

Yes, PMWC allows one free advance transfer per ticket, either to another person who qualifies for the same ticket type or to a future PMWC conference, provided the request meets the published deadline.

Email [email protected] with your order number, registration email and whether you wish to transfer to another attendee or a future conference. Please arrange this in advance; tickets cannot be passed between people onsite. See the official transfer policy for all conditions and deadlines.

Can I share, lend, or swap my badge during the conference?

No. Each ticket and nametag is issued to one registered person. Badge sharing, unauthorized resale or unapproved substitutions may result in denied entry or revoked access under PMWC’s terms. Arrange any eligible ticket change in advance through the PMWC team.

What happens if PMWC changes dates or cancels the event?

The Terms and Conditions set out how postponements, date changes and cancellations are handled. A date change does not automatically entitle a registrant to a refund; affected tickets may be moved to the new event dates as described in those terms.

Recordings, slides & agenda

What you can watch after the conference

Are sessions recorded, and are slides shared afterward?

Recording is planned for Main Tracks 1–5. Access to individual videos and slide decks depends on the speaker’s permission, so not every session is guaranteed to be available. Showcase Tracks S1–S2 are slides-only, not video recordings. Eligible materials are provided to registered conference attendees after the event.

If I miss a session, can I watch it afterward?

For Main Tracks 1–5, you can access a session recording if the speaker authorizes its release and the recording has been posted. There is no livestream. If a particular talk is essential to you, attend it in person rather than relying on a recording.

When and where will recordings and slides be available?

Available materials are released after the conference through PMWC attendee access. Timing varies while speakers’ permissions and files are finalized. Check your PMWC account and post-conference emails for availability.

May I photograph or record talks?

Use of photography and recording equipment is subject to PMWC rules and speaker permissions. Unauthorized photography or recording is prohibited. Please respect any restrictions announced in the session and review the PMWC Terms and Conditions.

Can I switch between tracks during a session?

Yes, you may move between rooms, subject to seating availability. Please enter and exit quietly to avoid interrupting speakers or other attendees.
