A's for your Q's
I just want to go to conference and have a good time, what should I buy?
The most common approach is to buy a full registration - this gives you access to the main chunk of conference - all of Saturday, Saturday night and Sunday.
Friday night is a casual social drinks event with other Toastmaster-tragics. If you'd like to be social and mingle with people, Friday Night is a common add-on for a full registration.
We also strongly recommend the Tragics Pack, it will include the Souvenir Program; a high-quality booklet that will tie the conference together, and be worth holding onto long afterwards!
My buddy is in one of the contests and I just want to watch them compete. Can I?
Yes! Single contest viewing is available. This is only available in-person (if you can't make it to Caloundra, then grab a Mainstage Livestream) and at check-out you'll be able to select which contest you'll be coming along to see. You can buy multiple if you want to watch two or three contests also. This won't include food or any extras, just viewing of the contest in the room.
Can I bring a plus-one along to just the Saturday Night Gala Dinner?
Yes, absolutely. At any time you can simply add a "Saturday Night" to your ticket order. This will give them access to just the night, without the requirement to attend the rest of the Toastmaster-y events during the day. Your plus-one need not be a member to enjoy the night with us.
What's the Monday Excursion
We're real clever and secured a group booking discount for Sea Life Sunshine Coast. We'll have a breakfast near beach at Quarterdeck Cafe (open for all, pay your own way) beforehand, and then for those that have purchased the Monday Excursion, we'll head to Sea Life for full access! Yes, you can bring a plus one!
Is breakfast included in the Monday Excursion price?
No, sorry. Everyone is welcome to come to breakfast, but it is pay your way regardless. The Monday Excursion ticket only covers your entry into Sea Life at our group booking discount price.
Is there an online viewing option?
Yes, it's the Mainstage Livestream. If you can't make it to Caloundra, or wish to have a watch party with your club-mates, grab this one! We'll email you everything you need to watch in. Note that it is a livestream only, so the audience and speakers in the room won't be able to see you, and chat won't be available.
Is there a payment plan available?
No, sorry. Our ticketing service requires full payment, but can be paid with credit card.
