[ FAQ ]

Frequently asked.

Answers to the questions we hear most from prospective pass holders.

Yes. The Protectors Pass is a full All-Access Pass. The Protectors Pass was created to lower the cost of joining Protectors and to increase sponsor interest, helping offset the costs we incur in producing the event.

No. Only those seeking to earn travel reimbursement through Protectors Pass+ have any requirements on their time during the event.

Your travel reimbursement depends on the number of double opt-in sponsor meetings you take during the event:
Two meetings = $250;
Four meetings = $500;
Six meetings = $750;
Skipped meetings do not count. Meeting completion will be tracked through the Protectors Event App.

Agents and advisors who sell directly to clients receive priority for Protectors Pass+. Who receives reimbursement, and the amount, is at the sole discretion of Protectors based on meetings taken and/or show management’s determination of value to the show (in the case where meeting requirements were not fulfilled).

Yes. Eligibility is reviewed case by case and the list evolves each year. If you work at a non-profit, are a government official, or are at a startup, you may also qualify for a discounted VIP pass via the Discount Request Form.

Yes. We hold an exclusive group rate at The Venetian. Once your pass is approved, you’ll receive a booking link with the group rate and cutoff date.

Meeting matching happens between 30 days and 14 days out from the show. More information will be provided as we near the event.
