Frequently Asked Questions

Children are allowed, but there a several things parents need to be aware of:
1.) There is no childcare provided at the event.
2.) You must acquire a ticket for every child you bring. Please message us on our contact page to receive a family discount, if you are registering more than 2 people.
Exception: If your child is so young that you will be holding him/her in your seat the entire time, then a ticket and registration is not necessary. Registering the entire family is to help us have an accurate count of booked seats, so if your child does not need a seat, you do not need to register them.

To attend, you must register by purchasing an attendance deposit ticket for yourself and for each of your attendees you are bringing. However, as long as you attend any part of the event, the cost of the ticket(s) you purchased will be refunded back to you after the event is over. So yes, technically the conference is free to attend.

Our event registration requires an attendance deposit. That means you must purchase a ticket for yourself—and one for each attendee you are bringing—and if you attend the event, the cost of your ticket(s) will be refunded to you. If you do not attend the event, the cost of your ticket(s) will not be refunded to you.
We are requiring an attendance deposit for two reasons:
1.) To make the event free for attendees. Donations by our generous supporters allow us to make this event free for all attendees. As long as you attend any part of the event—granted that you check in at the sign-in table—you will be refunded.
2.) To maximize the number of attendees at our event space. Our chosen venue allows us to host 420 attendees. We cannot allow more than 420 people to register, as we want to make sure there will be enough seats for everyone at the conference. An attendance deposit ensures that only those who are serious about attending register for the event.

Our venue, located in downtown Grapevine, is minutes away from the DFW Airport, allowing easy access for out-of-state attendees. There is a train that runs between the airport and downtown. The city of Grapevine also runs a free bus service that frequents the airport, major hotels in the area, and our downtown venue. Add in the ample hotel and food options, and Grapevine was an obvious choice to hold the conference.
See our Event Resource page for info on city-wide transportation, hotels, and restaurants.

We will have a free, limited selection of drinks and snacks in the lobby throughout the conference. But there are no meals provided.
