Still using OptOut discount code for SEF
Increased pricing by $5, last time we did that was 5+ years ago
Removed ‘global’ student/MiT pricing online, too many people were abusing it, the registration states to requested pricing to GCS Specialist (except MiT events). SGs can add in if no issues.
New pricing for walk-ins is in the registration template, please use new ‘walk-in’ registration the day of your event to account for this group of people.
Norris Center contracts – no more ‘credits’ allowed
Early bird registration – give people reason to sign up early

20. 2019-2020 Changes (cont) Phishing emails and spam

Livelink treasury portion will be replaced by Nexonia app
Each SG will have their own user account that feeds into GCS account
