FAQs

I'm not with a non-profit - can I attend this event?

Irish Charity Lab events are primarily for non-profits. However, as we've had a lot of interest from agencies and service providers, we're going to test something. We'll make three spaces at this event available to agencies, consultants and service providers at this event, and will charge commercial rates for those tickets. If you are with an agency or a service provider, or are a consultant, please book the correct ticket.

The best way for agencies or service providers to engage with our community is as event sponsors - you can send multiple people, and present to showcase your expertise. if you're interested in sponsoring this or any other events, contact us on hello@irishcharitylab.org.

What's the refund policy?

As we are a small non-profit organisation with limited resources, we ask that if you need to cancel your booking, you give us enough time to re-sell your ticket. If you cancel an event up to a week in advance, we will fully refund your ticket. Events that are cancelled with less than five working days notice cannot be refunded; apologies for any inconvenience this causes.

If you need to cancel and request a refund, you can do so through EventBrite. If you need to cancel at short notice, you can transfer your ticket to a colleague.

Is it ok if the name on my ticket or registration doesn't match the person who attends?

Please fill out the name(s) of the actual attendee(s) rather than the person booking the ticket. If you need to transfer your ticket to a colleague, that is no problem - you can change the name on your ticket by following these instructions.

Is there a limit on the number of people that can attend from my organisation?

Yes – you can send up to three people from your organisation. We restrict tickets to three per organisation to ensure that there’s a good mix of people at each event, and also so that as many organisations as possible have the opportunity to attend. If you would like to arrange training for more than three of your staff, we would be happy to talk to you about a custom training session in your office – contact hello@irishcharitylab.org.
