<H2><STRONG>FAQs</STRONG></H2>
<P><STRONG>Can I get a refund?</STRONG><BR>Yes, up to one week prior to the event! This helps us better manage our waitlist. We are not able to accomodate last minute cancelations since they are tricky from an administrative standpoint.<A HREF="https://www.eventbrite.com/support/articles/en_US/How_To/can-i-get-a-refund?lg=en_US" TARGET="_blank" REL="noopener noreferrer noopener noreferrer noopener noreferrer">Request a refund here up to one week prior to the event!</A></P>
<P><STRONG>When should I arrive?</STRONG><BR>Our event starts at 6 PM. Please try not to come by before then-- while we love to see your friendly faces, we need that time to set up and get everything ready before things get going. You'll just be sitting around awkwardly otherwise and that's no fun for anyone.</P>
<P><STRONG>What if the event is sold out, can I just show up at the door?</STRONG><BR>Nope! If we're sold out that means we are sold out! You can certainly add yourself to the waitlist, but if you haven't received an actual ticket from Eventbrite for this event, we won't be able to let you in the door.</P>
<P><SPAN><STRONG>Can I transfer my ticket?</STRONG><BR></SPAN>We currently do not accept ticket transfers, so if you know you can't go, please update your ticket information by editing it via the link provided to you in your Eventbrite email.</P>
<P><STRONG>What do I need to bring to an event?</STRONG><BR>Other than your smiles? You should bring a form of ID. You<EM>won't</EM>need to print out the PDF of the ticket, though-- we will look you up when you arrive using all the digital things.</P>
<P><SPAN><STRONG>How do I know if I qualify as a geek? What can I expect?</STRONG><BR></SPAN>Take a look at our<A HREF="https://www.shegeeksout.com/about/" TARGET="_blank" REL="noopener noreferrer noopener nofollow noopener noreferrer nofollow nofollow noreferrer nofollow">FAQs on the website</A>!</P>
<P><STRONG>Do you have food that's gluten free/vegetarian/vegan?</STRONG><BR>We do request that our sponsors include these options, but we are ultimately beholden to what they order. Most of the time these options are provided!</P>
<P><BR></P>
<P><STRONG>Thanks to DigitalOcean for sponsoring!</STRONG></P>
