Sponsor-Supported Registration

Alaska Entrepreneurship Week’s September 18 programming at the Petroleum Club of Anchorage is supported by sponsors who have funded a limited number of registrations for members of Alaska’s entrepreneurial community for whom the cost would otherwise be a barrier.

Sponsor-supported registrations are available for Session I and Buffet Lunch, Session II and Dinner, or the Full Friday Program. Every one of them occupies a real seat in a room that holds a limited number of people, and every one is paid for by a sponsor.

Read this before you begin.

Sponsor-supported registrations exist so that cost does not keep committed members of Alaska's entrepreneurial community out of the room. They are funded by AKEW sponsors, and every one of them consumes a real seat, a real meal, and real sponsor money.

This application is intentionally demanding. It takes most people twenty to thirty minutes to complete honestly, and it cannot be saved and resumed. Short or generic answers are declined. If you are able to pay for a registration, please do, and leave this funding for someone who cannot.

Seating is limited to 40 community registrations per session, and the registration deadline is Monday, September 7, 2026.

Your answers

Describe one specific problem you have encountered in Alaska's entrepreneurial ecosystem that you want raised in this session.
Write about something you have lived, not something you have read. Name the stage of business, the region, and what actually happened. General statements about needing more collaboration or more funding will not be considered.
Minimum 400 characters.

What direct experience or expertise will you bring into the room?
What have you built, funded, regulated, researched, taught, or advised? What do you know that the other people in the room may not?
Minimum 400 characters.

What will you contribute during the session, and what will you do afterwards with what you hear?
This is a working session, not a panel. Describe what you intend to say, ask, or challenge, and what you will carry forward.
Minimum 300 characters.

Why does the registration cost create a barrier for you?
Sponsor funding is finite. Explain your situation plainly. This is read by organizers only and is not shared.
Minimum 250 characters.

Commitment

I will attend in person for the full session I am requesting. I understand that a sponsor-supported seat that goes unused cannot be resold and denies the place to someone else.

I understand that registrations are final, that no refunds are offered, and that this seat is funded by an AKEW sponsor rather than provided free of cost.

I understand this is a working session, that I am expected to contribute, and that attending only to observe is not the purpose of sponsor-supported registration.

I confirm that everything above is accurate and written by me, and I accept that applying does not guarantee a registration.

Type the following sentence exactly, including the date:
I will attend in person on September 18, 2026
