It is unclear from your website how to register for the WIE Enterprise sessions. Does the $250 fee cover entrance to all the sessions? Or, is the fee required to attend and the sessions, The Business of Tech for example, are extra cost?
Thanks for your help.

Hi! I attended last year and am looking forward to attending again. Your home page makes reference to attending “coffee” sessions on Monday but I don’t see any place to register for them. Also, last year, you had a range of prices with a higher price for attending smaller sessions and evening event. This year, it looks like there is only one higher fee than last year. Can you clarify?
Thanks!
Linda

Its a flat fee for each day. Just makes the registration process simpler. Unfortunately the Coffee With sessions are now full.

hi -
attended last year with 4 others – would like to attend again but – information inconsistent – last year ticket sellers via phone navigated inconsistencies.
not finding enterprise day schedule/times for each $55 segment –
how does one purchase tickets without knowing these times?
will there be Q&A’s? none last year – hoping for them this year.
coffee with sessions really full? – disappointing!
please advise.
thank you.
