  • On-site registration will commence on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m., and you may register on-site on both Wednesday, September 4 and Thursday, September 5, assuming seats are available on those dates. There is one flat rate for the live and virtual conference, so there will not be a discount for registration based on number of days attended. For planning purposes, we strongly encourage you to register early – we don’t want you to miss the opportunity! WLC has a history of selling out.

  • The live program registration fee includes admission to all general/main stage sessions, breakout sessions, the VIP Reception, conference meal services (breakfast and lunch) and all conference beverages and snacks during break periods.

    The virtual program will stream all Main Stage events on both days of the conference and one selected session for each of Education Session 1 and Education Session 2 (Day 1), and Education Session 3 and Education Session 4 (Day 2).

    Four live program participants and one virtual program participant will be randomly selected to each receive three free hours of executive coaching after the conference.

  • Yes, a room block for this conference will be available at The MGM Grand Hotel. When you register for the conference you will receive more information about how to register for a guest room. Please be aware of the following hotel reservation practices.

    Hotel charges. As far as the hotel is concerned, all guests will be responsible for their own guest room, resort fee, tax, and incidental charges. A $37.00 daily resort fee (reduced from the current fee of $39.00) plus the applicable Clark County Room Tax will be applied to each hotel room reservation and includes certain amenities.

    2024 WLC Group Rate Reservation Cut-Off. The cut-off date for the 2024 WLC hotel room block reservations is Friday, August 16, 2024. Reservation requests received after that date will be accepted on a space available basis at the 2024 WLC contracted rate at the hotel’s discretion.

    Room Deposit/Payment. It is a conference attendee’s responsibility to submit a valid credit card number with name as it appears on the card, billing address and credit card expiration date, or a deposit equal to the first night’s room rate, and tax as a guarantee, at the time the attendee makes the reservation. Attendee’s credit card will be charged the first night’s room rate and tax at that time. Individual room reservations not guaranteed will be automatically cancelled by the Hotel within 14 days of the reservation date.

    All guaranteed reservations will be held until 6:00 a.m. only on the day after attendee’s confirmed arrival date.

    Room Cancellations. The hotel allows individual attendees the right to cancel their guest room/suite reservations without penalty up to 72 hours prior to the guest’s scheduled arrival date. There will be a charge of the first night’s guest room/suite rate and tax for cancellation within 72 hours of the scheduled arrival date or failure of the individual to check in on the scheduled arrival date for an uncancelled reservation.

    Unless otherwise arranged, all conference attendees/hotel guests will be responsible for their own guest room, resort fee, tax, and incidental room charges.
