Hotel accommodations and airfare are not included.

My budget is tight. Are there any registration discounts for individual tickets?  

Absolutely! We offer partner discounts. If you’re a member of ATAP, TANSD, or one of our other media partners affiliated with TA Week, just reach out to us for your exclusive discount registration code.

Are there discounts for sending a group from our company?

Absolutely. We appreciate a good deal as much as the next person — and we want as many of your colleagues as possible to experience Talent Acquisition Week! Group discounts are available. For specific pricing details, contact Jessica Vargas.

Why should I attend a pre-conference workshop?

Workshop trainings are a great investment for a lot of reasons. Hands-on workshops will equip you with frameworks and templates you can integrate into your strategy.

These intensive, classroom style workshops are a great way to dive into the most challenging topics around recruiting strategy, alongside your peers and with one-on-one time with workshop instructors.

Are there discounts for nonprofits and government agencies?

Yes and yes. We have special pricing for our government and 501(c)(3) friends. Contact Jessica Vargas for more details. 

I registered online, but haven’t received email confirmation or a receipt yet. What should I do? 

You should have received a confirmation receipt immediately after your transaction is completed. Make sure to check your spam/junk folder. If there is a delay, contact Jessica Vargas or give us a call at 888-409-4418. 

Will I have access to speaker slides after the event?

Of course. Presentation materials are accessible via the event web app link during and after the event. Note: Look for TA Week staff on-site if you have any problems accessing conference materials online.

Where can I find accommodation information?

We have a discounted room block at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay. Reservations for the hotel can be made based on availability before January 12, 2026 by using this link and mentioning the “GSMI Talent Acquisition Week” room block

What happens if I have to cancel? 

We hope you don’t have to cancel . . . but if you must, here are your cancellation options:

You can transfer your ticket to someone else in your company at any time at no charge. If you cancel within 28 days of the start date of the event, you can receive a full refund. If you cancel less than 28 days before the start date of the event, there is a $300 cancellation fee. The remaining balance can be applied to a future event. If you don’t show up to the event, you are still responsible for the cost of your registration.  

Please review our full Terms and Conditions. You can also contact Jessica Vargas with any questions about cancellations.

What’s appropriate attire for the conference? 

Business casual. 

What do I need to bring with me to check in? 

Just you and your ID! A ready-to-learn-and-have-fun attitude will also come in handy.

If I’m an international attendee, can I receive an invitation letter?

Yes, happy to help. Please contact Jessica Vargas.

Will I earn SHRM/ HRCI credits for attending? 

Yes. Once TA Week concludes, attendees will receive an email with details for accreditation. At that time, attendees can request an electronic copy of their individual certificate of completion.
