2025 Spring Conference Registration

Registration is closed online but tickets can be bought on-site Saturday and Sunday at Mars Hill University!

Choosing Your Registration 

Whether you'd like to sign up for a pre-conference (Friday) workshop only, one day of the event, or the entire conference weekend, our options allow attendees to maintain a flexible schedule.

**If you choose a single-day or full-weekend pass, Friday’s pre-conferences and half-days can be added at checkout. If you only plan to attend a pre-conference or half-day class on Friday (and none on Saturday and Sunday), purchase the pre-conference option.
