Before you reserve your spot

• Register early: Many conferences offer early-bird pricing and can sell out.
• Confirm times & venue details: Schedules may be updated closer to the event, so always double-check the official event page before booking travel.
• Look for group discounts: Churches often save by registering teams together.
• Plan your trip: Check hotel options near the venue and the closest airport (especially for international events).
