Do you offer purchase protection on Engage! registrations?
Yes, we are offering purchase protection for our 2027 events through a 3rd party company, Purchase Protection LLC (not affiliated with Engage!). This optional coverage will reimburse your registration fee if you are unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances such as death in the family, severe illness or injury, transportation failure, etc. It does not cover your purchase amount should you decide to take on a new client/opportunity that conflicts with the Engage! event you register for.

Who will attend this Engage! and how do you balance the industry categories?
While we do not share the attendee list before an event, Engage! attendees include event planners and designers, luxury resorts, hotels and venues, photographers and cinematographers, media, fashion and beauty, luxury travel and hospitality industry, entertainment, floral designers and many others—any category that touches the luxury wedding and events industry!
In an effort to ensure the magic mix of industries at every Engage! event, each participant category has a limit. Once the limit is reached for an industry category, that category will go to a waitlist. If a spot becomes available within that category, we will offer it to those on the official waitlist. We reserve the right to verify registrant industry categories.
Can I transfer a registration / credit from a previous event to this Engage! event?
Yes, if you have a credit from a past Engage! event (within two years), you can apply it to this event as long as space is available. If you are interested in transferring, please email us as soon as possible at engage@engagingconcepts.com as spots are limited.
You will be given an ‘event key’ to apply the credit when you register. Please note that we are unable to save spots for those with credits from past events, and there will be no refunds for credits not applied during registration.
What is the cancellation policy?
Engage! registrations are non-refundable but transferable to another person for the same event with advance written notice and approval. Please review our Cancellations and Transfers policy in our Terms & Conditions before registering.
Can I bring a guest to this Engage! event?
Due to limited capacities, the entire program is for registered attendees only. You are, however, welcome to bring a guest to share your room, enjoy Nekajui, and explore the Peninsula Papagayo while you’re participating in Engage!, but please note that guests of attendees will have limited access to services, as they will be dedicated to our group.
