We are so excited you are interested in attending an upcoming event! 

To register for an event:

1. Select an event to attend
2. Click RSVP. If the event is sold out, you can click Join Waitlist. 
3. After clicking RSVP, a pop-up will appear, and you’ll be asked to set up an account for our event-hosting platform. You’ll need to input your name, email address, and create a password.
4. Once you’ve successfully registered, you’ll receive an event registration confirmation email. 

To join an event:

On the date of the event, you’ll use the registration link found in your confirmation email to join. Be sure to log in with the same credentials you used for your account creation when registering. 

To register and join any future events, you’ll also use that same login credentials.

Events hosted by Upwork are usually free to attend. If there is a fee or other cost for participating -- which is very rare -- we will let you know in advance. You do need to register to attend though. Once you have successfully registered, you will receive a confirmation email.

You need a ticket to be able to join any event. If an event is fully booked, you can sign up on the waitlist and we will email you if a ticket becomes available. Make sure to keep an eye on your email!

Some events have limited seating and are by invitation only so that we can accommodate everyone who responds. Even when an interactive event is virtual, we want to make sure that everyone who attends has an opportunity to participate. Some of the events we offer provide skills- or industry-specific information or are for freelancers who have a specific status, such as new freelancers or Top Rated talent. And we consider the location, language, and time zone of the event when sending invitations.

Most online events are recorded. If there is a recording available, you can watch it by clicking on the respective event in the “Past Events” section.

We want to ensure you have the best experience at our event! To help avoid connection or audio/video issues during an event, please consider the following best practices:

* The event hosting platform performs best from a desktop or laptop device with Google Chrome.

* If possible, consider restarting your modem an hour or so before the event begins. A wired connection to the internet also helps ensure a more reliable internet connection for smoother audio and video.

* When accessing the event, close any other tabs that may be open except for the event tab itself.

* Before joining the event, we recommend performing a pre-call test to ensure that your audio and video are working properly, particularly if you’re planning to participate in a networking event.

* Refresh your page, log out and log in back. 

For more information, you can check out the event platform guide for troubleshooting access to the event.
