Frequently Asked Questions

Please see below for frequently asked questions by other attendees. If you do not see your question here, please view the bottom of the page for whom you should contact regarding your question.

Conference Registration

The last day to register additional attendees for conference is on Friday, December 4, 2026 at 11:59PM EST to avoid credit card processing fees. After this deadline, all registration fees will be charged in full starting the week of December 7, 2026, on your CC with a 4% processing fee. The contracted group rate will also increase after this deadline from $312* per night. 

For more information, please click here.

*This is the single/double occupancy rate.

Each registration is its own separate account. You and your guest must register with different emails as it creates a separate account for each person. This allows the system to track individual answers and also allows each of you to sign in to the conference app with your own account.

We highly recommend reserving your hotel room as soon as possible to secure the best rates.

A one night, non-refundable deposit will be required at the time of requesting your hotel room.

The remaining balance of the room will be charged by either PTP Bucks or to the same card on file the week of December 7, 2026.

Please note, the last day to cancel your reservation without being charged for your entire request is Friday, December 4, 2026.

Please email Annika Estwick at annika@xplorinc.com if you need to modify your existing registration.

Conference Location

If you will be flying in for conference, we recommend flying into either DFW International Airport or Dallas Love Field.

DFW distance from The Fairmont Dallas is 20 Miles / Approximately 25-30 Minutes 

Dallas Love distance from The Fairmont Dallas is 6 Miles / Approximately 10-15 Minutes
Please note: The rideshare pickup area at Dallas Love Field is approximately 200 yards from baggage claim, so guests should plan for a short walk after collecting their luggage. The airport is currently undergoing construction, which may impact navigation and walking routes.

In early February, Dallas experiences moderately chilly and crisp weather, with average daytime highs around 58°F to 60°F (14°C to 16°C) and overnight lows dropping to around 39°F to 41°F (4°C to 5°C).

No, there is no airport shuttle to and from the hotel.

If you would like to rent a car during your stay in Dallas, the Pillar To Post discounted parking rate of $25.00 USD from the original rate of $60.00 USD is available during the group dates at the hotel. UBER and Lyft are also very popular within the area.

Yes. A Pillar To Post discounted parking rate of $25.00 USD from the original rate of $60.00 USD is available during the group dates at the hotel. 

Using PTP Bucks for Brand Conference 2027

You can use your PTP Bucks to pay for: 

  • Conference registration for additional attendees
  • Your hotel stay (booked through the official registration site) except the one night non-refundable deposit that will be charged by Credit Card.
  • Additional conference registrations & their hotel stay (booked through the official registration site) except the one night non-refundable deposit that will be charged by Credit Card.

A non-refundable one-night deposit must be paid by credit card at booking.
The remaining balance can be paid with PTP Bucks. 

No.

PTP Bucks can only be applied to registration and some of the hotel costs processed through the Brand Conference registration site. Flights, meals outside the event, and other personal expenses are not eligible. 

PTP Bucks can be used for all additional nights other than then that one night non-refundable deposit.

No. If you are using PTP Bucks, your BUCKS balance must cover the entire cost of that item (either registration or hotel), excluding the one-night, non-refundable hotel deposit, which must be paid by credit card. 
 
No partial payments are allowed for the remaining balance. 
 

Yes. You can use PTP Bucks for your hotel and pay for registration with a credit card, or the other way around.  

You just cannot mix payment types on the same item. 

A non-refundable one-night deposit must be paid by credit card at booking. The remaining balance can be paid with PTP Bucks 
 
 

Great. You can use your PTP Bucks to cover additional registrations.

Just make sure your Bucks balance covers the full amount on or before Friday, December 4, 2026 at 11:59PM EST.

Log into your BFC account and check your shopping cart. 

Plan ahead. 

  • Register early 
  • Set aside the PTP Bucks you plan to use 
  • Avoid spending them on other purchases before the December 5th deadline as there is a lag in what your balance may show 

If you registered using PTP Bucks and do not have enough Bucks in your account to cover the full amount, the credit card on file (used to pay the one-night non-refundable hotel deposit) will be charged for the balance owing the week of December 7, 2026.
 
If there is any issue processing that card, PTP Accounting will debit your PTP account for the amount owed.

When you book your hotel through the conference registration site, your credit card is charged for one non-refundable room night  to confirm your reservation. This is standard hotel policy for securing rooms. 

The good news is that all of your remaining nights can be covered using your PTP Bucks. So, while your card will handle the first night, your Bucks will still apply to the majority of your stay. 

This approach guarantees your room is locked in while giving you the ability to use your PTP Bucks for the balance. 

Payments, Cancellations and Refunds

The one night non-refundable hotel deposit submitted at registration is non refundable.
