While the full conference schedule has not been finalized our past conferences have followed the following pattern. There will be a pre-conference on Wednesday night at Grace Baptist Church, this is a separately ticketed event, check back to this page for more details. Thursday morning will begin conference registration and the first session will be around 12:00pm and will end around 9:00pm. Friday is a full day from 8:30am to 9:00pm. Saturday will be a half day from 8:30am to 1:00pm. We invite all attendees to attend our church services at Grace Baptist Church on Sunday morning. This is subject to change but provides a basic framework so that you can plan your travel accordingly.
Yes, please view the Lodging section below. Hotel information is coming soon.
Please contact us at officeadmin@founders.org to discuss possible group discounts.
We plan to have complimentary water and coffee available but do not have the ability to provide food at this venue. Before the conference begins we will post a list of local restaurants to help you during the meal breaks. There will likely be a FAM dinner on Thursday night – check back here for more details.
We welcome everyone to attend our conferences and have a large number of families that attend. We hope to have a separate room for young families that has stream access for when the kids need to stretch and play. We will not be providing childcare for this event.
January in sunny SWFL is typically highs in the low 70s and lows in the 50s. We do not have a set dress code and our attendees typically vary from suits to shorts and t-shirts. The venue can be cold, so we would suggest bringing a jacket or sweater.
