Complimentary Services
(*For UF entities only)
Registration Page
We will provide a registration page that can be linked from the homepage of your conference website.
Registration Services
We provide excellent customer service to participant inquiries; securely receive and process credit cards, checks, and invoices; create and enter registrations into our database; prepare deposits; process cancellation refunds; and track accounts receivable.
Report Access
We will provide registration reports that will help you to monitor your finances as well as keep track of participant registration.
Budgeting
We develop a detailed budget based on your input and desired outcome. After you have had an opportunity to review the budget, it will need to be signed by your Dean or Department Chair in order for it to be entered in our system and a program number generated for your event.
Contract Review
If you have already selected a venue and negotiated a contract, we will review and sign the document for the University of Florida. If someone other than a designated representative of the University of Florida signs the contract, then the individual who signs the contract is personally liable for the contract.
Program Closing
At the conclusion of your event, we will help you close the program and move any residual money to either a new program or to one of our Program Development Account.
