Company Registration – We have a few options for registration this year.  Since Intern Connect is during the workday, companies can make it a part of their intern program and a requirement to attend.

  1. Group Registration – you tell us how many interns you have, their names, and boom they’re registered! We’ll send you an invoice and share the event details with you and your interns. Connect with our Program Manager, Jessica Kuster, at kusterj@hellowestmichigan.com for more information. Or, complete this Group Registration Form and email it to Jessica Kuster.
  2. Discount Code Registration – you tell us how many interns you have and how much of the ticket price you want to cover. We send you a discount code to share with your interns, interns register themselves, we invoice you for the number of codes used to register. Connect with Jessica Kuster to receive your unique company code.
  3. Singular registration – we provide you materials to promote the event to your interns encouraging them to invest in the event and approve the time away from their desks. Interns self-register. Connect with Jessica Kuster for flyers and additional resources for your interns.
