Paid events are registered through a secure checkout that briefly leaves Genius Networking and returns you once payment is complete, with early bird pricing available on some events for a limited time.
Paid events work a little differently from free ones, since there's a payment step involved. Here's what to expect from start to finish.
Some paid events offer an early bird price for a limited time before the regular price kicks in. If one's available, you'll see it on the event page: it's worth registering early if the price matters to you, since it can change once the window closes.
Right after paying, there can be a short processing window while the payment finishes confirming. If you close the browser tab immediately after paying and don't see your registration right away, refresh the event page or check your registered events a little later: it should appear as soon as payment confirms. If it still hasn't shown up after a while, support can look into it for you.
Refund details can vary by event, so if you have a question about a refund for a specific paid event, reach out to support directly and they'll help you sort it out.
Is the checkout process secure?
Yes. You're redirected to a secure checkout to complete payment, then brought back to Genius Networking once it's done.
What is early bird pricing?
A lower price offered on some paid events for a limited time before the regular price takes over. It's shown right on the event page when available.
I paid but don't see my registration yet, what should I do?
Give it a moment, then refresh the event page or check your registered events. Payments sometimes take a short while to finish confirming. If it still isn't showing after a while, contact support.
Can I get a refund for a paid event?
Refund details can vary by event, so reach out to support with the specific event and they'll help.
