Does RISE distribute the attendee list?

RISE only shares limited attendee information with our official conference sponsors as part of their sponsorship benefits. We never sell or broadly distribute attendee lists. Unfortunately, there are fraudulent organizations that claim to have our lists and may try to sell them. Please know these solicitations are scams. If you receive one, we recommend deleting it and not engaging with the sender.

Is RISE affiliated with any third-party housing companies or travel services?

No, RISE is not affiliated with any third-party housing companies or travel services. If you are contacted by an outside agency offering special rates or urging you to book through them, please note they are not an authorized partner. To ensure your reservation is secure, hotel bookings should only be made using the official link provided or by calling the hotel directly. Our discounted group rate applies equally to all attendees, whether you’re exhibiting, speaking, or participating.

Why do online travel sites sometimes show lower hotel rates?

Online travel sites like Expedia, Hotels.com, and Booking.com may display lower nightly rates, but these prices often exclude taxes, fees, and resort charges. To receive the fully negotiated group rate and all included perks for this event, we recommend booking through the official hotel links provided on the Hotel & Travel page of this event website. We continually monitor rates to ensure our attendees receive the best possible value.

How does RISE give back to local communities?

Giving back is a core part of the RISE experience. At many of our events, we partner with national and local organizations to create hands-on opportunities that allow attendees, speakers, sponsors, and staff to support the communities that host us. Our initiatives have included packing meals with U.S. Hunger, serving meals at local soup kitchens, painting community murals with the Foundation for Hospital Art, and assembling care kits for Children’s Advocacy Centers. 

When applicable, we donate surplus food and beverages from our events to local organizations to reduce waste and extend our impact.

Give-back initiatives vary by event and location, but our commitment to making a positive, local impact remains the same.
