There are four questions that affect how much registering for Following Christ 2008 will cost:

1. Are you eligible for the student discount?
   To be eligible for the student discount, you must be a current undergraduate, graduate student, post-doctoral candidate, or independent scholar.
    
2. Are you registering in time for the early-bird discount?
   This discount will expire and conference registration fees will increase on Nov. 1, 2008.
    
3. Are you attending the main conference, an optional Day Ahead event, or both?
   Consider attending one of the five Day Ahead events, Dec. 27-28, before the main conference, Dec. 28-31. (See the Schedule page.)
    
4. Are you registering for a meals-only plan? And if so, how old are you?
   Meals-only plans are for family members who are accompanying delegates to the conference but who are not participating in conference programming.

Also, note that we offer need-based scholarships, so please read about our scholarship program, policies, and application.

Registration covers access to plenary, track, and seminar sessions; special services; program materials; and breakfasts, dinners, and some snacks.

Registration fees will increase on Nov. 1, 2008, at 12:01 AM Central Time.
