Additional food and beverage details will be shared before the event.
Are hotel accommodations included?
Hotel accommodations are not included with your Annual Event pass.
Patron-level members: Please contact terence@wedgwoodcircle.com to learn about available hotel options.
For all other attendees, we recommend the Hyatt House Nashville/Franklin–Cool Springs, located just minutes from the event and popular with many Wedgwood guests. We encourage you to reserve your room soon.
When will the complete schedule be announced?
A detailed schedule, including speakers, showcase participants, times, and locations, will be released closer to the Gathering. Registered attendees will receive updates by email as new programming is announced.
Do I need to be a Wedgwood member to attend?
No… although ticket availability may vary by membership and event programming. Most programming is open to all registered attendees, while select gatherings are reserved for Patron Members, or invited guests. We encourage you to join as a Patron Member in order to get the full benefits (including one complimentary all-access pass), but, you can buy an All-Access Pass without becoming a Patron Member. Creator Level Members get a significant discount. This discount is intended for artists, and requires you becoming a Creator Level Member before purchasing your discounted pass.
Are tickets refundable?
Tickets are nonrefundable, but we understand that plans can change. If you are no longer able to attend, please contact us to discuss transferring your registration to another guest.
Can I transfer my ticket to someone else?
Yes. Ticket transfers may be permitted prior to the event. Contact the Wedgwood team with the original attendee’s information and the name and email address of the new guest.
Is there a group ticket rate?
Group options may be available for organizations bringing multiple attendees. Contact the Wedgwood team with your anticipated group size to learn more.
How can my company sponsor the Annual Gathering?
We welcome partnerships with companies and organizations that share Wedgwood’s commitment to championing the good, true, and beautiful. Contact our team to learn about sponsorship opportunities and custom partnership options.
Patron Members receive one complimentary pass, while Creator Members receive 50% off. Check your email for your exclusive code, or email us at contact@wedgwoodcircle.com.
