Frequently Asked Questions

I'm a speaker/friend/youth/collaborator/other. Do I have to register and pay to attend? 
Yes, you do. We need to keep track of each and every one of you so we're well-prepared at conference time, plus the fees are necessary to cover the costs of putting on a conference of this size.
