When is the conference?Conference dates are February 20-22, 2025, for both in-person and online attendees. You can view the At-A-Glance Schedule HERE.
-
What time zone is the conference?All times listed on the website are Central Time. For those who are attending online, you can convert to your local time zone HERE.
-
What is the difference between attending in-person and attending online?There are benefits to both. In-person attendees will be able to interact more directly with the class teachers, and of course, enjoy face-to-face fellowship with other in-person attendees. As of now, all in-person classes are planned to have live teachers. Online attendees will be able to join the in-person classes via video stream. Some of the breakout classes will be recorded and then made available later that same day to our online attendees. Both in-person and online attendees will have access the the digital pass following the conference, which will include recordings of all sessions.
-
Will the classes be recorded?YES. All classes, both in-person and online, will be recorded. Recordings will be made available sometime after the conference ends (allowing time for editing and adding subtitles). Access to class recordings is included in the registration fee.
-
If I register for in-person, but would like to attend a couple of the online classes as well, would that be OK?Yes. Registration includes access to both in-person and online classes. You can choose to join some sessions at Abilene and others from the comfort of your hotel room. The information to access online classes will be provided to you prior to the start of the conference.
-
If a friend (or a few friends) and I want to watch the conference together on one device, is that okay?Yes. Online access is per device, not per person. So, if you and a few friends want to have a watch party gathered around one computer other screen, that is fine! Please keep in mind however that this will mean that you will also watch all the same breakout together. If the members of your group have trouble deciding which classes to attend, we would suggest purchasing more than one registration for your group.
-
Are there any technology recommendations for watching the conference online?For the best experience, we recommend watching the conference using either a laptop or desktop computer. If possible, we also recommend using a wired internet connection as opposed to wifi, as this will provide you the most stable connection possible regardless of how many other devices are in your home. You will be able to access the conference using a mobile device, however the quality of your conference experience may be inferior to those who use a laptop or desktop.
