 FAQ

  • Anyone is welcome to attend, but we specifically encourage missionaries, missionary leaders, and pastors to attend.

  • Read this attached document here.
    Exact hotel location is undisclosed and will be provided to confirm registrants via email.

  • It depends on the ticket you purchase, please see the descriptions in the different options. If you have any questions or clarifications please don’t hesitate to reach out.

  • We offer 2 room types for the conference, all including a 4-night stay (check-in October 25, check-out October 29) with daily breakfast at our 4-star hotel:

    Double Occupancy Room

    This option is for at least two people sharing one room requesting the option of either two full-size beds or one king bed.

    Important: If you are only registering one individual on this form, you must either:

    • Indicate the name of your requested roommate (who must also register with this option), OR

    • Agree to be paired with another conference attendee

    How to select quantity:

    • Choose "1" if you're sharing a room with one other attendee not on this registration (both of you select quantity "1")

    • Choose "2" if you want one room for two people and are registering for both on this form.

    • Choose "4" if you want two rooms for four people total.

    Examples:

    • John and Mike are attending together. John registers and selects quantity "1" and lists Mike as his roommate. Mike also registers and selects quantity "1" and lists John as his roommate.

    • Tom is attending alone. Tom registers and selects quantity "1" and agrees to be paired with another attendee who also needs a roommate.

    Single Occupancy Room

    This option is for one adult only in a private room with one king bed. No roommate required or allowed.

    How to select quantity:

    • Choose "1" for one single room

    Example:

    • Jennifer prefers her own space. She registers and selects quantity "1" for a private single occupancy room.

    Family Room (Families Only)

    This option is designed for families with a maximum occupancy of 2 adults and 3 children. The room includes two full-size beds.

    How to select quantity:

    • Choose "1" for one family room

    Example:

    • The Chen family is attending: two parents and two children. They register and select quantity "1" for one family room that accommodates all four of them.

    If you are in doubt that you all will fit in one room, it is cheaper and better for all of us to book a second room during this time. Otherwise adjusting on site to add a cot or a room will cost more than booking a second room now.
