FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I’ve already registered for the conference. What do I need to do to make sure I’m in?
You’re all set. You'll get an email from our team with information regarding how to log in to our experiential platform the week of the conference. If you're unsure about your ticket level (General or VIP) you can email support@karyoberbrunner.com.
Now that ISC 2020 is experiential, am I getting less than if it were live?
You’re getting MORE! Because more people can now attend this Experiential Conference, you’ll experience more networking, more exposure to your book and business, and a bigger reach around the world. Plus, we've invested significant time and resources in the latest technology, the most talented production professionals, and a conference team dedicated to serving you. We've even included physical care packages and incredible bonuses. View them here.
What happens to the hotel room I already reserved?
According to Hilton International, you will be receiving a refund for your room. Please contact the hotel to receive your refund: (614) 885-1600. Also, please be patient in the process. They will help you.
As an AAE author, will I still get to have my Red Carpet Session?
Yes, and you will get substantially more exposure than you would have received at the live event for several reasons. You will be able to submit your 90-second video in advance and have it featured on the Igniting Souls Conference website page beginning September 1, 2020. You, along with hundreds of other authors, can direct friends and family to view your speech and click your book link from this page. Red Carpet Session speaking opportunities are designed for Author Academy Elite authors who are registered for ISC 2020 IF they have not spoken on a particular book at a Red Carpet Session in the past.
Will we get to sell books in the ISC bookstore?
Yes! Your book and links to it via online bookstore(s) (example: Amazon, Barnes & Noble) will be featured on the ISC bookstore webpage beginning September 1, 2020. You'll receive details via email regarding submission requirements. This opportunity is available for all Author Academy Elite authors who are registered for ISC 2020. We take 0% of your profits. In fact, we're investing up to 30,000 dollars to reimburse every attendee who purchases your books. (See below for more details).
What if I have a ticket but am unable to attend this life-changing event?
Please read our conference policies. If you still have questions, please email support@karyoberbrunner.com, and our team will be glad to answer your questions.
Will we have “table time”?
Yes! Table time is an attendee favorite, and our team has creatively designed a way to have an experiential table time as part of the virtual conference. You're going to love this! You can choose which group you'd like to participate in based upon geography, interests, or both. Feel free to mix it up and pop into several groups—social butterflies allowed.
What if I am not good with technology, should I still attend the experiential conference?
Absolutely! Our entire team is committed to helping you engage in this life-changing event. We don't want anyone to miss out. We will have a pre-conference training and help desk dedicated to making sure you are all set for ISC 2020.
