Frequently Asked Questions

How is a “user conference” different from other marketing and business conferences?

OPLZA is specifically tailored to people who use Ontraport. That means you won’t only get great strategies and concepts for your business — you’ll actually get instructions and tips on how to implement them. User conferences like this provide the most actionable advice to build your business, since it’s coming straight from the team behind the platform you use.

Is OPLZA different from Ontraport’s Bootcamp and Certification courses?

Yes! While you’ll still get the same kind of hands-on training offered at Bootcamp and Certification, OPLZA offers even more insight to reach your specific goals. That includes a lineup of expert speakers, keynotes from our CEO and Founder Landon Ray, a chance to chat with our team in person about your questions and more.

What are your Covid-19 protocols?

In accordance with CDC guidelines and the City of Santa Barbara, we will not be requiring masks, Covid-19 testing or proof of vaccination to attend OPLZA. However, we will be taking extra steps to ensure the health and safety of our guests and staff. This includes:

  • • Regular cleaning and sanitation of common surfaces throughout the event

  • • Optional Covid-19 PCR tests available at no cost during registration

  • • Air purifiers in indoor spaces during sessions and presentations

  • • Several hand sanitizer stations throughout our campus

  • • Safe preparation and handling of food and beverages

If you experience Covid-19 symptoms or test positive prior to OPLZA, we ask that you stay at home and email support@ontraport.com for additional direction.

We will be closely monitoring the current Covid-19 climate in Santa Barbara and will continue to follow CDC recommendations. If any updates or changes occur, we’ll notify guests right away. These precautions will help us make sure the event is smooth and enjoyable for everyone involved.

Are food and drinks included in my ticket price?

We’ll be providing complimentary coffee and snacks throughout the event, as well as free happy hour beverages. For ideas on restaurants and dining nearby, take a look at the recommendations above.

Will OPLZA be livestreamed? Will there be recordings available?

No, we will not be recording the event and guests will not be able to attend virtually. If you want access to all the insights and strategies from OPLZA, join us in-person in Santa Barbara, California!

Can I bring my teammates with me?

Of course! You’re welcome to bring as many people on your team as you’d like. When you buy your ticket, you’ll have the option to include additional attendees so you’re all booked together. If you’d like to bring a large group, get in touch with solutions@ontraport.com to discuss group pricing. 

Will sales tax be applied to my ticket purchase?

No. Sales tax will not be applied to OPLZA tickets, regardless of your credit card’s billing address.

Is there a discount for nonprofits?

Where should I stay?
