Day passes will cost $30 each for NAME members. Non-NAME members, their first day pass is $65 which includes a basic NAME membership, and then each day after that is $30. Day Passes will be available beginning on April 23, 2024. At the same time, workshops that are still open will be available to sign up for. You must have a day pass in order to take a class, or theme luncheon.
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are considered one day. All other days are one day, except for Sunday. If you have purchased a day pass for any day of the week, Sunday is a free day.
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are mainly workshop days. The Gala will be on Wednesday night and is open to everyone. if you just want to attend the Gala, you can sign up for just that and don’t need a day pass. However, if you wish to take a class on any of these days, you will need to purchase the preconvention day pass. You will be able to participate in any Silent Auctions held on these days.
Can day pass buyers also participate in the Houseparty Helper raffle? YES! BUT, you must come back after the dinner on Saturday night, as the winners must be present to win.
Day-pass buyers do not get any of the three meals that are included in the full registration. They will not receive the souvenir. They also cannot sell roundtable kits. They are not eligible for the hospitality kits and gifts made for full registration attendees.
If a day-pass purchaser signs up for a class and they cannot attend the class, they will be responsible for the shipping of the kit(s) to them. No kits will be sent before the shipping is paid.
For roundtables, mega-roundtables, garage sale, and other places with entry lines, day-pass buyers will line up behind the full registration attendees.
Day-pass purchasers must be at the venue by the sign-in time determined at a later date. Most likely around 7:30 AM on the specific days of your purchased passes to pick up your special badge. Badges must be worn at all times in order to attend all of these functions.
