    No, you do not need a physical ticket. When you buy a Way Up North seat, you are then on our guest list. At registration, we match your name on the guest list with your identification. We then provide you with a guest badge which allows you into the theatre.

  • WHAT IS “WUN”?

    WUN is the official abbreviation for Way Up North. “WUN” like “FUN”.

    Yes, we will need identification to check you into the conference. A drivers license, for example.

  • WHAT IS THE THEME FOR PRAGUE?

    HERE TO THERE is the theme for Prague. This comes from the phrase What Got You Here Won’t Get You There. We are challenging the presenters to create forward-thinking presentations. What are they working towards and how they plan to get there.

  • DO I NEED TO BE A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER OR FILMMAKER TO ATTEND?

    No. Everyone at all skill levels and experience are welcome to attend.

  • IF I NEED TO SELL MY TICKET, HOW CAN I DO THAT?

    Ticket sales are on your behalf to arrange. You are welcome to sell or gift your ticket by any means necessary.

    The one caveat is all sales are exclusive of Way Up North’s participation. This includes the Way Up North Facebook group, where threads on ticket sales are not allowed.

  • WHAT IF WAY UP NORTH IS RESCHEDULED?

    Force majeure has forced Way Up North to reschedule, so this is a road we have been down before (hello Pandemic!). So in the past, we have had no choice but rescheduling the event. If Force majeure forces a reschedule, your ticket transfers to the rescheduled event. No refunds or credit if this happens.

  • WHAT’S WAY UP NORTH’S REFUND POLICY?

    Tickets are not refundable and not available as a credit for future events. If you are unable to attend for any reason, we are unable to transfer your ticket to a future event.

  • HOW CAN I APPLY TO BE A SPEAKER?

    We love when people show interest in presenting at Way Up North. That doesn’t mean YOU’RE IN! for Prague. What it does mean is you’ll be on our radar for future events.

  • IS IT OK FOR COMPANIES WHO ARE NOT SPONSORS TO GET INVOLVED WITH WAY UP NORTH?

    That’s a big no-no as Way Up North doesn’t allow Suitcasing, Outboarding or Partial Outboarding. It is not permitted to host any event without being an official sponsor. This is true for existing sponsors as well as hosting any event must be included in an agreement. That includes focus group, seminar, function, training, or other activity. This is true for brands as well as event guests who use Way Up North as a means to funnel the audience.
