Q: I need to add to/edit the list of members on my corporate membership.
A: Corporate memberships are held by the company, and do not transfer with employees if they leave the company. Each member "slot" on your corporate membership must be designated to a specifically-named employee, and is not transferable (may not be shared) between employees.

All TAG members will receive his/her designated Membership ID Card. Replacing current members with newly-designated members is restricted to TWO (2) replacements per corporate membership/company per membership year.

ADDING a new member: If your corporate membership has currently available "slots" that you would like to designate to an employee, please contact the TAG offices at membership@tagonline.org. We will need to have the employee’s name, title, phone number, and address to complete your request. The employee will be added to the membership if the “slot” is available, and an email will be sent to the newly added member, and the designated point of contact for the account.

REPLACING a current member with a new member: Please submit the name, title, and email address of the new member you're designating either by phone 404-817-3333 or membership@tagonline.org. If and when possible, please return the former member's i.d. card back to the TAG office (See Contact Us for our current address).

DELETING a current member: To delete a specified member from your membership, please email membership@tagonline.org or call the office at 404.817.3333

Membership is available for individuals and corporations. We have several levels of Corporate membership that represent group discounts over individual membership, beginning with Corporate Level 1 that allows up to five persons to be listed.

What is TAG's event cancellation policy?
TAG's policy requires a registrant to cancel at least 48 hours before the event. If you have not cancelled your registration 48 hours in advance, you may be obligated to pay the full meeting cost. Any time an event is cancelled by TAG, refunds will be issued.
Top

Do I have to pre-register for TAG events?
Not usually. For almost all meetings, you can register onsite - you will not have a pre-printed name badge however. There are exceptions however: Occasionally, TAG will host an event at a high-security location that requires a pre-screening or visitor access badges. Many TAG events have a high-registration rate that may have created a ‘waiting list' for attendees. If you did not register online, you cannot be added to the list. For some events, especially our larger events, you may encounter a higher cost of attendance if you do not register ahead of time. Please check out event details to find out when we are offering "Early Bird Pricing"

What are my options when it comes to sponsorship?
There are many different options when it comes to sponsorship with TAG. From a banner ad on our eweekly (which reaches over 15,000) to co-hosting a major event (with an opportunity to speak on stage), there is a sponsorship opportunity for every budget and every marketing goal.Please see our "Sponsorship Opportunities" page or click here to see a complete PDF of our sponsorships offered.

How can I become more involved with TAG?
Please read "10 Ways to Make the Most of Your TAG Membership" and our "Membership Benefits" brochure.Another great way to become more involved, with a greater time commitment, is to join a society board. Please contact the chair of the society you are interested in.
Top

Can I attend a TAG event before I become a member?
You may attend TAG events as a non-member but you will be required to pay the non-member cost of the event. If you do decide to join TAG, you may fill out your application form at that event and have the cost of the event (or difference between member and non-member cost) deducted from the membership cost.

How do I volunteer with TAG?
If you want to help develop and coordinate a society's events, please contact the society contact listed on the TAG website or contact the TAG office to speak with the appropriate TAG staff in charge of the society. If you want to help spread the word about TAG, please consider being a TAG ambassador. Occasionally, we do need volunteers at events and in the TAG office.
