Banquet FAQs
The earlier, the better, but we absolutely must have your registration and payment for the 2026 banquet by Thursday, March 12th. If you are paying by check, please plan to get your check to us and no later than that date. If you want to confirm that your registration and payment have been received, please contact us: contact@pwc.org.
Sure, but be certain that you remember to pay by the deadline (see this FAQ). Registrants who register but do not pay prior to the deadline run the risk of not being included in the order, and of not being admitted to the banquet. And we’d hate to see that happen.
To pay now for the banquet, please click here to be taken to our 2026 PWC Banquet Payments webpage.
For more information, our Banquet Policies can be found here.
Hey, we’d love it! We ask, however, that you let us know in advance so that we can plan the awarding of door prizes throughout the evening. We also ask that your door prize be valued at $50 or more. To avoid frequent disruption of the evening’s festivities, we have set a limit of five door prizes. So if you want to bring one, be sure to let us know as soon as possible! Call us at (206) 249-7922, or email us at contact@pwc.org.
You are welcome to bring your business cards to provide to people you talk to throughout the evening (and to enter the drawing for a door prize!). But display of promotional material, such as pamphlets, flyers, or swag, is reserved for our Diamond and Emerald level sponsors. For more information, please see our Banquet Policies found here.
For the 2026 banquet, as long as you request your refund by the morning of Thursday, March 12, no problem! After that, please contact us to see what flexibility we have. However, as of the published registration deadline, the meal order will be placed with the venue, after which we will not be able to issue a refund. For more information, please see our Banquet Policies found here. Again, for the 2026 banquet, the registration deadline is Thursday, March 12.
Of course, with some conditions: Let us know in advance that you will be sending someone in your place. Be sure to tell your replacement that they will be served the meal that you selected. They must also meet the same conditions as any other attendee, including any health or safety requirements, and payment at the appropriate level (i.e., if you registered as a member, but your replacement is a non-member, you or your replacement will need to pay the additional cost). Please contact us to make arrangements, and we will do our best to accommodate you. More information can be found in our Banquet Policies, available here.
Sorry, but all persons attending the banquet must pay full price for admission (either member or non-member, as applicable), regardless of whether they plan to eat a meal. This is because the venue charges us for each person through the door, whether they are served a meal or not, and that cost is incurred by the organization. For more information, our Banquet Policies can be found here.
It’s easy! Send an email to contact@pwc.org, or just call us at (206) 249-7922. If we don’t answer, leave a voicemail. We will get back to you!
