Attendance Tips
It’s about time.
With so much to see and do at the Expo, time is important. Classes start promptly so allow yourself time to get settled in your seat for a great learning experience.
Interruption-free learning
We know you’re there to learn. To prevent interruptions, we discourage cell phones, video-taping and audio-taping. We do encourage creativity in young adults; children 10 and above are welcome to purchase a ticket and take the class, too.
Ticket time
When you purchase a class ticket, it is your pass to higher scrapbook education and allows you in to the class. Exhibit hall admission allows you to shop the Expo floor. Both are important and necessary if your goal is to have “the ultimate” Expo experience! So plan to take classes and give the Expo shopping floor a complete workout.
When selecting tickets, do so with care; unfortunately ticket exchanges and refunds are not an option.
Feedback welcome
Perception is everything, and sometimes, a class you may find awesome someone else “just doesn’t get” so we avoid refunds based on class perception. We do encourage your class feedback in the post-event surveys we send, however. It helps us keep our finger on the pulse of our classes and is your vehicle to be honest and contribute to the education plan at future Expos. Your input is valuable … thank you for providing a current e-mail address so we can keep the lines of communication open.
