  6. What happens during the tracks?
    While the general sessions are for everyone, in the tracks you’ll be able to connect with and learn from others who are like you (either in age or callings/interests).
  7. What are the registration costs and details?
    You can find all that you need to know under rates & deadlines.
  8. Are there any group discounts?
    For every 10 people that you register, the 11th person is free. You must have 10 people registered and paid in full in order to receive this offer.
  9. How do I acquire the 11th person free discount?
    When registering, DO NOT include the 11th person in your registration count. The 11th person free discount will apply when all 10 people are fully paid for. Deposits only DO NOT apply for this discount yet. If any of the 10 are taking advantage of another discount (i.e. pastor’s/pastor’s family/international discount), your group does not qualify for the 11th person free discount. 10 full-price registrations that are fully paid qualify for the 11th person free discount.
  10. Are there any scholarships that are available?
    Yes! We have two types of scholarships. The first one is for pastors and their families. The second one is for international registrants. If you are a pastor, you and each family member can come to the conference for $100 per person. If you reside outside the U.S., you would pay $100 per registrant.
  11. What does the registration cost cover or not cover?
    The registration cost covers your conference admission fee only. Food and lodging need to be taken care of on your own expense.
  12. If I cancel after I register for a spot will I get my $50 deposit back?
    Sorry, your $50 spot deposit is non-refundable, but it is transferable to another new registrant.
  13. If I cannot fill all my reservations, can I transfer the non-refundable deposits to pay the balance of those who will be attending?
    No. Those spots must be filled by a person, or you forfeit the $50 deposit for that spot. If the registration has been paid in full, we will refund the registration less the $50 deposit.
  14. What forms of payment are acceptable?
    We’re happy to accept credit cards (Visa or Mastercard), checks and money orders.
