Tips for Attendees

Here are a few tips to help make your FamilyLife Conference weekend truly a "Weekend to Remember".

• FamilyLife events are casual in nature. Dress comfortably. We all have varying degrees of hot/cold comfort, so please plan ahead by wearing short sleeves (even in winters months) and bringing a sweater or jacket (even in summer months).
• FamilyLife will provide you with manuals and pens for the weekend.
• If possible, arrive early on Friday to give yourselves the opportunity to wind down from the pace of life. Event registration opens at 5:30pm. The Conference itself begins at 7:00pm on Friday.
• The FamilyLife event will most effectively minister to you if you carve it completely out of your regular life schedule. Whether you stay in the hotel or commute, agree together to remove distractions. Entrust your kids to those watching them; stay away from squeezing in other appointments; unplug the phone; keep the TV off; and if attending with other friends, make sure to save most of your times for you as a couple.
• Your evening meal on Saturday is not included in the registration costs. We have set aside this evening as a special "date night" for you and your spouse. Make plans for a special evening and splurge to the extent you can!
• Please let us know whether you have any special comfort needs or dietary requirements.  We will do all we can to make it an enjoyable experience.
• FamilyLife will have a comprehensive range of life-changing resources available for purchase throughout the weekend. Save money by purchasing these resources at the Conference.
• Plan a date night soon after the Conference to help yourselves set a plan of action on how you will apply the principles you learned over the weekend, and transition it to everyday life.
