Can I connect with attendees before the event?
Yes, we will invite all our attendees to a private Slack channel a month prior to the event. It's a great way to connect with one another and make plans before the event.
I don't live in Philadelphia and I'd like to book accommodation, where can I stay?
Here are a few hotel recommendations in the Old City that are about a 10-minute cab from the conference venue: Hotel Monaco ($$$), Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District ($$) and Holiday Inn Penn’s Landing ($). There are plenty of other options if these don't fit your needs, we’d recommend looking in Old City or Center City (10-20 minute cab).
I attended WTSFest before in London, will this feel the same?
The honest answer is it probably won't. As this is our first-ever USA event, we're keeping it much smaller than the UK event. But of course, the sense of community is always the same.
Can I pay directly by invoice?
No, we won’t be able to hold tickets so please pay directly via tito, our ticketing platform.
Can I sponsor the event?
Yes, we have a few sponsorship slots left. Please do get in touch via email (contact@womenintechseo.com) if you'd like to sponsor the event.
What does the sponsorship fee go to?
We use our sponsorship fee to pay for our catering, suppliers, logistics fees and most importantly, we pay our speakers a speaker fee (as all conferences should!)
Will you be recording the event?
No, as this is our first WTSFest USA, we won't be recording the event. But we plan to record future events, just as we do with our UK event.
How can I speak at a Women in Tech SEO event?
We open our speaker pitch form 8 months in advance of each event, keep an eye out for the next time we open it.
