His Topic: Finding Joy in a Lifelong Beauty Career

Unplugged Registration FAQs
What's the difference between SINGLE, DOUBLE & TRIPLE?
- This refers to the number of people who will ultimately share the room.
- It does NOT mean you are purchasing multiple reservations. Each attendee will register separately.
- Once you register, you will receive an email with a link to fill out a form where you can let us know who you will be rooming with.
- The SINGLE occupancy registration is more expensive than the DOUBLE & TRIPLE because the all-inclusive resort charges more for a single occupancy room.
Can I purchase multiple registrations in the same transaction?
- Unfortunately no - each attendee will purchase their registration while logged into their personal Summit Online account. That way they will get updates and pre-event resources sent directly to them.
- The only exception to this is the + GUEST (Register Non-Conference Attendee) which is used for spouses and significant others who will not ever have a need for their own Summit Online account.
Can I use LEVEL Points for all or part of my registration?
Can I stay more than 4 days? What if I want to upgrade my room?
Yes, you can stay for as many days as you would like. Start by registering for as many days as you can below - this will secure your registration to the event.
Once you have registered - contact Renee Thomas renee@rthomasevents.com - Renee will provide a white-glove booking experience to ensure you have the number of days and room type you need to make your Unplugged experience a true getaway.
Note: There will be two financial transactions - one when you register and one paid directly to the reosrt for any additional nights and/or room upgrades.
Does registration include airfare or ground transport to/from the airport?
No - you are responsible for booking your own flight to/and from Cancun (CUN). There are great deals on Southwest and Jet Blue if you are looking to save.
For ground transportation to and from the airport - we highly reommend using our preferred partner, Amstar. Once you register for the vent, you will have access to the Summit Unplugged Dashboard, where you will be able to find a VIP booking link for special reates and white glove service from Amstar.
Can I cancel my registration?
You may cancel your reservation anytime before November 30th, 2025. After November 30th, your registration becomes non-refundable.
