The Old Registration System
Our initial registration system was very basic as it only intended to provide us with rough numbers to improve planning. We expected the venue to be large enough to accommodate both registered and unregistered attendees, so there would have been no need for checking off names before entry.
We are now approaching the stage where it is possible that we could reach and even exceed the venue capacity. We have a dilemma:
Our faith is being challenged, and we are thankful to the Lord for exceeding our expectations with the large number of registrations so far - which appears to be largest of its kind for Melbourne, as far as we know.
You NEED to Re-Register
We do apologise for any inconvenience, but we are asking everyone who has already registered to re-register on Trybooking. Please note that there is a $5 fee attached (per ticket), which will include the booking fee and some of the costs for hosting the conference. Those who have donated already, please see “I have already donated previously” in the "Booking Questions" section above.
What will the new registration system achieve?

We are now approaching the stage where it is possible that we could reach and even exceed the venue capacity. We have a dilemma:
- Do we hope that we have enough seats for everyone on the day? Or;
- Do we forward plan to ensure that those registered have a guaranteed place?

What will the new registration system achieve?
- We can cap the number of registrations and guarantee entry to those registered.
- We can process entry on the day much quicker, preventing long queues and cutting into the conference allocated time.
- It will enable us to plan more effectively through having accurate figures, by discouraging overbookings.
- It will discourage “no shows” on the day, thereby ensuring that the maximum number of people can attend and be blessed by the conference.
