FAQ Ticket Raffle for #WITswe2025

Does everyone have a chance to get a ticket?

Yes. This is NOT a first come first served practice. As long as you have entered The Raffle by submitting The Enrollment Form you are in the list. By submitting the form you are listed for the random distribution of tickets to the conference. Submitting the form does not guarantee you a ticket to the conference.

On February 14, our system will randomly select the lucky folks who get a seat. Everyone who’s listed themselves in The Enrollment will get an e-mail on February 16 where it states whether you got a ticket are if you are on the waitlist.  

How can I get a ticket?

Don’t Panic. This time, it’s not a race game, but a game of chance.

  1. Make sure that you are a member here at womenintech.se
  2. Join the Ticket Raffle in The Enrollment form
  3. Wait for the sorting hat to work its magic…
  4. Check your inbox on February 14

How does it work? Easy as 1-2-3, plz.

  1. Be a Member: We love to see how this incredible community grows!
  2. Join the Raffle: We’ve ditched the race and embraced the raffle. Simply fill out a form, and we’ll do the rest. No need to be the first to refresh –it will be open for new entries until the 16th February. 
  3. Cross Your Fingers: Once you’ve entered, it’s time for the nerve-wracking part – waiting until February 14. Our system will randomly select lucky winners who gets a seat, and if you’re one of them, you’ll be on your way to an unforgettable day

How does it work? In details, plz.

  1. First, we check with the membership database in Salesforce to see if you are already a member.
    1. If you are not, you will be prompted to join as a member, and after signing up as a member you’ll get through to The Enrollment form.
    2. If you are, you’ll get through to The Enrollment Form.
  2. The Enrollment Form is embedded on our website. It will be pre-populated with your membership e-mail address. The form and the query to open the form is processed and provided by our ticketing partner Trippus. 
    1. In case of an overload caused by too many requests against the Trippus servers, you will meet a waiting screen instead of The Enrollment Form. Don’t panic. There’s no que advantage here. Everyone who enrolls will be part of the the raffle on February 14. Just wait, or come back later. 
  3.  Submit your details in The Enrollment form. This is data that we need from you to create a great vibe at the conference, and to make sure we serve food you can eat. 
  4. After submitting, you will get a confirmation on the screen AND an e-mail that confirms your enrollment. 
  5. The website is built on a WordPress platform in collaboration with our web partner Ohmy, and they are also hosting it for us. We cranking up the server capacity with an auto scaling that, depending on the load, varies between 0.5 and 64 (!) ACU:s. Most likely we’ll need 1-2 ACU:s but we really want to be prepared. 
  6. We expect to have a lot of visitors on the website in the beginning of the process and also in the very end. Every finger in the team will be crossed so hard to make this work, that we might not be able to answer e-mails in the inbox as promptly as we would like. 
  7. On February 13, we will temporarily close the possibility to join as a member, while we let our system randomly select the lucky folks who get a seat. Everyone who’s listed in The Enrollment will get an e-mail on February 14 where it states whether you got a ticket are if you are on the waitlist. This means – check your inbox. We will let you know the exact time slots when we get closer to the day of The Raffle.

How will I know if I got a ticket? 

Check your inbox on February 14.  

What happens after February 14? 

You can still sign up as a member, and it will be possible to enter the waitlist to the conference. 

 

When will I know if I got a ticket?

On February 14. We’ll let you know the exact time schedule when we get closer to the day. 

Why did you change the process to a ticket raffle?

We have more members than tickets to the main conference. We want to find a more fair way to distribute the spots to the Stockholm Waterfront Congress Center, and that’s why we are ditching the concept of “first come, first served”. That model kind of turned into a lottery, but based on who were lucky enough to get through to the servers before they broke down. And so many people didn’t even get the chance to enter the race. This time, we’re making the sign-in process longer, and when we’re closing the lists on February 14, our system will randomly select the people who will get tickets. 

 

Will you the conference be live-streamed?

Yes! Everything happening on the Main Stage and all the Focus Sessions will be live-streamed here on the website. There will also be web-exclusive interviews.   

 

Can I still be part of the event if I don’t get a ticket?

Absolutely! We’re livestreaming the entire conference at womenintech.se, so you can join from anywhere. Why not make it a thing? Host a watch party with friends or colleagues and be part of the experience online!

Can I transfer my ticket to someone else?

No, tickets are personal and non-transferable. If you can’t attend, please cancel your ticket as soon as possible so we can offer it to someone on the waitlist.

How does the waitlist work?

When a ticket becomes available, our system will randomly draw a new winner from the waitlist. If you’re selected, you’ll receive an email with instructions on how to claim your ticket. The waitlist remains open until the day of the event.

What happens if I don’t win a ticket?

If you don’t win in the first raffle, you’ll automatically be placed on the waitlist. Whenever a ticket holder cancels, our system will randomly select a new winner from the waitlist.

Why is there a booking fee for the ticket?

The fee helps us create the best possible experience for everyone attending. It minimizes no-shows and ensures that every ticket goes to someone who truly wants to attend.
