DON’T MISS THE FUNNEST EVENT OF THE YEAR
This year’s olympics will be open to AWPA Member Planners, AWPA Preferred Vendors, and we would LOVE for preferred vendors to invite an Austin wedding planner that is not yet a member of AWPA.
AFTER REGISTRATION CLOSES YOU WILL RECEIVE AN EMAIL FROM PLANNERS@AWPAUSTIN.COM WITH YOUR TEAM COLORS AND TEAM MEMBERS.
AWPA WILL PROVIDE BANDANAS IN YOUR TEAM COLOR, BUT IT IS SUGGESTED YOU ALSO COORDINATE WITH YOUR TEAM ahead of time to have the most team spirit (hint hint, this might help you win gold medal)!

Vendor FAQ's
Q: Who is invited?
A: The individual to whom the email was sent is invited. AWPA invitations are intended for a particular person at a company, not the entire company. For example, if sally@abceventcompany.com is invited, Sally is the one invited, not Ted.
Q: Can I bring someone?
A: Yes, you may purchase a ticket for one additional person if you so desire, but we strongly encourage you select another associate from your business. Please do not invite a separate vendor who is not on our list. This defeats the purpose of YOU being our preferred vendor. From the example above, if Sally wants to bring Ted from ABC Event Company as her +1, she can. Please feel free to attend alone. We are all friends here and we want everyone to get to know each other!
Q: I received an invitation, but I can't attend the vendor mixer. May I send someone else from my company?
A: No; stand-ins are not permitted to attend. The purpose of our exclusive and individual-based preferred vendor list is to get to know YOU. Two planning companies have vouched for YOU personally for your excellent product and customer services. Not all representatives of all companies provide the same level of service. So Sally cannot send Ted in her place. Ted may only attend if Sally is in attendance.
Q: Can more than one representative from the same company receive an invitation to the AWPA Vendor Mixer?
A: Absolutely! If AWPA members love working with both Sally and Ted, they may both receive their own invitations to attend. In that case, each of them would be allowed to bring a +1.
