- Interactive Tickets Information
Attendees will need to have a ticket for interactive workshops. This year, we are implementing Eventbrite ticket reservations, where attendees will have the opportunity to sign up for interactive workshops BEFORE the Conference. Due to limited availability and space, not every attendee among the 3,000 participants at the Pre-Health Conference will receive an interactive ticket. Tickets for the interactive workshops will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis through a reservation process. Attendees are only allowed to reserve ONE interactive ticket. Interactive tickets are free for all registered attendees.
Your Eventbrite reservation is NOT your entrance to an interactive workshop. Attendees who reserve will need to pick up their physical ticket during check-in.
