Event registration
Q. When I attempt to register for an event I am asked for
a username or verification code. Do I need these to register for an event?
A. You do not need a username, password or verification code to register
for NEW regional events. To register for an event as a non-member, visit our Calendar
page, click on the event you wish to attend, click on "Register for
this Event" and then click "Not a Network Member? Continue without signing
in.” Do not try to register for an event by clicking on the
"Haven't registered yet?" link in the blue "Sign in" box on
the top left corner of our site. This link is for memberships and renewals. For
more information download our Event
Registration Guide.
Q. Why doesn't my password and username work?
A. Your membership may be expired or you may be trying to
sign in using an old username and password. Passwords issued before May 25, 2009 no longer work on this
site. Please see Membership below for more information on how to start or renew
your NEW membership.
Q. I have to cancel my event registration and it is past
the refund deadline. What are my options?
A. You may send a replacement in your place. The
replacement will need to complete a walk-in registration form on site.
Q. How do I obtain an event registration receipt?
A. If you're a member, sign in to the site and click on "Manage
Profile." Under Account History, click on "Event Registrations."
Click on the print icon next to the event for which you wish to receive a receipt. If you are not a member, you
may request a receipt by using the Contact Us link on each page.
Q. I am not sure if registered for an event correctly
because I was never asked to provide credit card information.
A. If you did not provide credit card information your order
did not go through. For more information download our Event
Registration Guide.
Membership
Q. I have attended Network events in the past. Am I
automatically a NEW member?
A. NEW regional events are open to members and non-members. To become a
national member of the Network you need to join the Network and
pay your annual dues or, if you are an employee of one of our 58 sponsoring
companies, be assigned a corporate membership by your company's NEW Ambassador.
To see if you qualify for corporate membership, contact your company's NEW
Ambassador. For more on how to activate a corporate membership, download Corporate
Members: Getting Started.
Q. My company is a national Network sponsor. Am I automatically a member of the
Network?
A. No. Each sponsor is allotted a limited number of memberships. It is up to
your organization’s Network Ambassador to assign these memberships and invite
the persons they designate to become members and join our online community.
Q. I must be a
member. I get the Network's monthly Event Alert and Magazine.
Our Event Alert and Magazine are mailed to members and
non-members alike.
Q. How do I become a Network member?
A. To become an individual member, click on "join” or "register” and follow
the instructions. A 12-month
individual membership costs $200 and includes full website privileges and

become a corporate member contact your company's NEW Ambassador to see if you
qualify.

profile information about you currently stored in the NEW database. If you
do not find a directory match, please click "Join without
a verification code" and follow the prompts.

Invitation I received is not working.
