Questions

Will I have a roommate?

Absolutely, we aim to pair up solo guests in shared rooms. Couples will naturally be accommodated together. If you'd prefer a single room, just let it know in the registration form. Keep in mind that this will incur an extra hotel fee.

Will there be translation available?

The conference will be conducted in English.
As we anticipate attendees from various language backgrounds, we kindly request those who require translation services to make their own arrangements for their respective languages.

Will there be childcare available?

There is no childcare available during the conference.
We encourage leader couples to arrange childcare at home so they can attend the conference with full focus and no distractions. If that's not possible, consider having one parent stay at home.
However, if they really want to attend together, the option is to arrange childcare in their hotel room.
