- Make sure you book your room at MGM Grand through the Vision online conference registration system, because that’s the only way to receive a $100 MGM gift card that can be applied directly to your guestroom account, restaurants, shops, shows, or the MGM Grand spa*. Please note that it is one MGM per room, not per occupant.
- Attendees can pick up their $100 MGM gift cards if they are eligible for them onsite at Conference Services desk after they pick up their conference badge. We will be using gift redemption to determine who is eligible to receive them.

- Attendees can sign up to “Meet the Experts” through the online Session Scheduler when it goes live in late February 2013.
- If employees are looking to book meetings, they can send an email to vision@symantec.com for these requests. The 1:1 appointments with experts are only for customers/partners - not employees.
- Virtually all Symantec breakout presentations and lab guides will be available.
- Check www.symantec.com/connect/vision for downloads within a week of the conference.
2. Will I receive a registration confirmation letter? How soon?
Yes, you will receive a confirmation via email once we have processed your registration, received payment for your registration fee, and confirmed your booking with the hotel (if you requested a hotel room).
3. How can I obtain an invoice to provide to my company?
The confirmation email you receive after approval of your registration will serve as your receipt. It contains a summary of fees paid.
4. What is the cancellation and substitution policy?

If you wait to purchase those same guest passes onsite, you will pay the full price of $250. Guests must be at least 21 years old and may attend only the evening functions on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
Just interested in bringing a guest on Wednesday? Again, you can add this on to your registration through the online registration system for the discounted price of only $125. Onsite the price will increase to $150. Guests must be at least 21 years old and may attend only the Wednesday night evening functions – both the Expo Hall reception and the Customer Appreciation Party.
