Registration
Everyone attending The Grom must register. We know it’s a pain, but we don’t make any money from it—all your registration fees go directly to covering the costs of the event.
​
We skipped the pricey stuff that few people want (T-shirts, gift bags) and stuck with the timeless stuff most people love: Food, drink and spaces to gather.
Included with your registration:
​
-
A welcome pizza party
-
An all-you-can-eat poolside lunch
-
Donuts by the pool
-
Poolside coolers with water and soft drinks throughout the weekend
-
A hospitality suite stocked with drinks, snacks and games
-
A cool souvenir from The Grom
There is also an optional add-on buffet brunch in the French Quarter on Sunday!
​
Registration is still open. The Early-Bird price has expired, but Regular Registration is available for $140 per person until May 15th. Please be sure to register before May 15th, as the only available option after that will be on-site registration at an increased cost.
​
You can also buy a separate ticket for the Sunday buffet brunch at the Court of Two Sisters--a fantastic restaurant that hosts its classic jazz brunch in the heart of the French Quarter. That ticket costs $50 (tax and tips included) and includes all-you-can-eat food, plus coffee, tea and water.
​
All attendees must register regardless of whether they’re staying at the host hotel or somewhere else, and will be issued a wristband to be worn throughout the weekend upon check-in. Check-in hours can be found here.
