Additional Package Types

Group Pass Purchase

Register as a Group and Save

If you plan to register two or more attendees for MySQL Connect 2013, take advantage of the group purchase option. Purchases must be prepaid by credit card; the purchaser will receive a priority code for each registration purchased. The purchaser can then give out the priority codes to whomever will be attending (from their company or user group, for example), and people can register at their convenience using the priority code that they have been given.

Register 5 or more attendees and receive a savings of up to 20 percent off the price of each registration. Register 14 or more attendees and receive a savings of up to 28 percent off. The more passes you purchase, the greater the discount. Note: for convenience you can use the group purchase option to buy four registrations in a single credit card transaction, but only five or more registrations earn a discount.

The following guidelines apply for group purchases:

  • You can purchase two or more passes per order, but you will not receive a discount unless you purchase five or more passes.
  • Discounts are not cumulative across multiple orders; discounts are based on the quantity being purchased for each individual order.
  • Discounts are not cumulative across conference packages—they apply only to the quantity purchased per package per order. For example, the purchase of 25 full-conference passes to MySQL Connect and 25 passes to JavaOne does not qualify for the 50-registration discount.
  • If you purchased codes for more than one event, they should not be used together on the same registration record as group pass codes are not valid for any Add-On package(s). Any Add-On package(s) can be added/processed by contacting the help desk to purchase and add to your record.
  • These group pass purchases cannot be combined with other offers/discounts.
  • Government special rates are not offered within this discounted structure.
  • Payment may only be made by credit card.
  • NO refunds are allowed for any group passes purchased.
  • For any group passes up to four there is no discount.
