I can only come for a portion of the conference. How much will it cost to attend a portion?

There is a one-day rate available for full-time students at $49. For others, you are welcome to attend only certain portions of the conference, but the rates are the same.

I plan to assist in the exhibit hall. Do I need to pay anything?

Yes. Everyone assisting in the exhibit hall must be signed up as an exhibitor and all exhibitors must register for the conference itself. Contact [email protected] for more information about exhibitors and exhibitor rates.

Does it cost anything for my children to attend?

Teens may register as an attendee at the student rate (while available) or at regular rates thereafter. We do not recommend that young children attend. However, if you must bring them, there will be no charge for infants. If children aged 2 or older will be accompanying you, they should be registered at regular conference prices. For more information about children and teens, see the “Children/Teens” FAQ below.

• Group discounts are automatically applied when you register six or more individuals at the same time.
• If anyone is registering at the student rate or has an admin code, they must be registered separately. The group discount does not apply.
• Make sure you know who is in your group and have all the information you need before you start. Check to see if anyone in your group is gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegetarian. Have unique email addresses for each person in your group.
• Allow yourself sufficient time to register your whole group together.
• Add each individual under “Your Information.” When the first registration is finished, click “add another registrant” to continue registering group members before checking out. After six registrations have been added, the group discount will be applied.
• When you are done, scroll down to the Billing Information and continue with payment.

What if I have a group that includes students?

The group discount only applies to the early bird or regular rate. Students, to get the student discount, must be registered one at a time and cannot be added to a group registration.

Can I register a group at the discounted price without everyone’s names?

Please contact us at [email protected]..

Can I add someone to my group, or put someone who has already registered into my group to get a discount?

Groups must be registered together to receive the discount. Regrettably, previously made registrations cannot count toward the formation of a group or receive the group discount retroactively.

Do I have to register online?
Contact [email protected] or call 678-823-0004 x2415 if you need assistance.

What is the student registration cost?

Full-time students qualify for a discounted rate of $99. Students are also eligible for a single day rate of $49.

Who qualifies as a student?

If being a student is your main vocation (you spend more time at school than at work), then you can use the student rate. If you’re not sure, we’ll leave it up to you.

Can I register a group of students?

Students (at the student discounted rate) must be registered one at a time.

Can students count toward our group registration?

A student registration will not count toward the minimum registrants required to qualify for the group discount.

Through May 31, 2024, registration costs may be refunded, minus a $25 processing fee. After this date registration is not refundable, but transferable to another person. Group member cancelation policy is the same. 

Please contact [email protected] for exhibit booth and sponsorship information.

You may bring an infant at no charge. Children aged 2 and older should be registered at regular rates if they are attending conference activities with you.

Thank you for helping spread the word! We have a few ideas but do what’s natural for you.

• Talk to people. A genuine, personal invitation is usually the most effective way to generate interest. Make plans to attend and invite others to come with you.


• Advertise! Feel free to use the promotional materials that are available under Promote/Spread the Word.


• Use the website. Direct people to mtw.org/gmc. In addition to registration, this is where the most current and detailed conference information can always be found. 


• Use social media. Share our posts! Follow MTW on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter @mtwglobal. Tag us in your posts as well.


• Use our one-minute promotional video, available to show, embed, or download.


• Announce it! Include a short announcement in a worship guide, bulletin, or newsletter.
