The group discount must be applied to a single order. You will have the option to add additional registrants in the system at time of purchase. Email MicroStrategyWorld@microstrategy.com for additional information.

We do not offer single day passes. The conference pass includes all activities on May 1-4.

Onsite registration is $1,495 paid via credit card. However, we recommend registering in advance.

Additional conference party tickets cannot be purchased separately. One entry to our exclusive theme park conference party is included in the Strategy World pass. 
 

Do I need to purchase a separate ticket for the Analyst or Architect classes? 

The World conference pass includes the education classes and certifications. We do require advance registration and space is limited.

Can anyone attend the fast-track education offerings at World? Is there an additional fee to register for these courses? 

The fast-track Analyst and Architect certifications are included in the cost of your World registration. Anyone who has registered for World can register for one of the certification offerings, space permitting, regardless of attendee type. However, you can’t take both the Departmental Analyst and Project Architect courses as they are at the same time.  
 

How do I register for the fast-track education courses? 

You can register for the Departmental Analyst OR Project Architect courses in Step 3 of the World registration process. If you are already registered for World but not registered for an education course, you can access your registration online with your email address and confirmation number to add an education course and certification. Seats are limited and subject to availability.

 

Do I have to have a prior background with Strategy to take the certification courses? What materials would you suggest I read to pass the certification courses?

The education courses are absolutely accessible to beginners. Our Education department will send out prep materials and instructions for all students 30 days prior to (and leading up to for those who register later) the sessions on May 1st. Moreover, the sessions themselves will be strictly focused on enabling learners to perform well on the certification. No matter your level of experience with Strategy, there is something to gain and a fair opportunity to realize success to propel your career forward. 

Does the World pass include access to all on-demand education courses in the MSTR Training Catalog? 

Your ticket to World includes two fast track options to become a certified Departmental Analyst or Project Architect via live, instructor led training. This does not include access to all additional on-demand content, exclusively available with a Strategy Education subscription. Both courses will take place in Orlando on Monday, May 1 from 11 am- 5 pm. You will then take your certification exam on Thursday, May 4 from 9 am-1 pm.  
You must register to participate in these fast-track courses and certifications. Seats are limited and subject to availability.
 

If I already have an Architect Pass can I attend the Project Architect class and certification at World? 

You will still need to purchase a World conference pass to attend any part of our World event. 

What does the certification entail and when will I receive results?

The certification is hands-on in a live Strategy Cloud environment. You will be tested on items that are covered in the session on Monday, May 1. The certification is scored on a pass/fail basis. You will receive the results of your certification the following week on Friday, May 12.
