Conflicting schedule? Unable to attend the entire conference? We’ve got you covered. In addition to our full conference offerings, one-day registration options are available for those who need greater flexibility during the week.
While our “Intensive Training Day” experiences provide focused learning in specific areas, one-day registrants are welcome to participate fully in the conference on the day they attend. This includes access to any breakouts, worship services, and concerts—without being limited to a particular track such as children’s music or handbells.
Bring your children’s choir or handbell staff, or simply come as you are. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your ministry, explore new ideas, or connect with others, you can make the most of whatever day fits your schedule.
