This help us continue to offer discounted tickets and scholarships to those in need. Should I register now? And can I buy multiple registrations?Yes. Ticket prices will never be better, and we love the early support (it's really important to us).

If you would like to buy multiple registrations now but are unsure at this point who will attend, email us and we can help.What about transportation and housing?Transportation and housing are not included with your registration. We have arranged for a block of discounted rooms at a nearby hotel. Please check our website for details. What is on the Agenda?The 2025 Agenda is now available on our website. Of those sessions, over 50 will be streamed or presented virtually for those with a virtual registration, or for anyone who is registered to watch later. What's your refund policy?Netroots Nation 2025 tickets are no longer refundable. You can still transfer your ticket to another person. Email us at registration@netrootsnation.org for assistance with a transfer.What if I have more questions before I register?Most questions are answered on our website, starting with this FAQ.

Oregon House votes to protect consumers from data center power costs The bill aims to shield residents and small businesses from the costs of new electricity plans and power lines built to serve data centers.
