Frequently Asked Questions
REGISTRATION?
When registering on-line, you can consider yourself confirmed when you receive email confirmation.
What if I can not come after registering?
We must be notified by July 10th if you require a refund. Please mail or fax your cancellation to 315-865-8483. There is much work that goes into processing and planning. There is a $20 transaction fee that is non refundable.
CHECK-IN?
Check in will begin in the lobby at 4:30 on Wednesday. Groups may pick-up conference wristbands.
SUGGESTED HOTELS & GROUP RATES?
Although there are many hotels in the area, we have contacted some of our local hotels. Some have rooms blocked for the conference at a group rate. If the room blocks are full, you may still be able to get rooms in the hotel at their regular rates. Room blocks are released back to the hotels one month prior to the event so don’t delay or you may miss out on the reduced rate. There are also many event going on in our area and we expect the Hotels to be pretty booked up on the Friday night. Your group may have to secure a hotel along your travel route home on the last night of the conference. Contact us if you need help finding a hotel for your group: Rhonda@DSLisi.com
AGE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THIS CONFERENCE?
The Conference is recommended for ages 12 and older. We hope that you, the youth leaders and youth pastors will help us by honoring this policy. With this said, we still understand that some youth groups include 11 year olds and some even 10 year olds. Some have asked about registration fees or reduced fees for even younger ages. Again, we would reiterate the above policy and request that you make other arrangements for the younger children. We are unable to provide a reduced fee based on age. There are no extra rooms in the Auditorium to accommodate small children.
DRESS CODE?
Yes. Dress is casual, jeans are fine. We are trying to provide an environment for ministry, we ask that clothing would not be distracting or immodest. Please do not wear shirts that reveal the mid-section, low necklines or tight clothing. In addition, low-rider/hip-hugger pants should be worn only with shirts that are long enough to cover the mid-section and underclothing when arms are raised.
DOORS OPEN?
Doors open a HALF hour before each service begins.
Are there special rates to come for one speaker, or just one day of the conference?
There are no reduced fees, so we would encourage attendees to participate in the entire conference. We realize there are some Christian events that are held for several days in a row that offer the option of choosing times that you would like to take part. The Generation Conference is not that type of event. The Generation Youth Conference differs in that it is a corporate meeting of young people that have come with their local churches for a concentrated time with God. Beginning on the first evening, momentum builds, one speaker adding to another. During these three days, minds and hearts are able to focus, attention not drawn to one specific speaker or another. Coming out to hear one speaker does not contribute to the atmosphere which is part of the Generation Conference.
Can I bring my child or nursing infant to the conference?
While families are important to us, the Generation Conference is an event for junior high, high school, and college age young people, so children and infants, including nursing infants, are not permitted in any of the sessions. Childcare is not available, and there are no separate rooms for parents to stay with their children at this venue.
Is reserved seating available in the Auditorium?
Reserved seating is determined by the registration date. Reserved seating allows the conference to run smoothly and allows groups to sit together without the anxiety of trying to find a large group of seats together
