(Note: While we love kids, this event is just for the grown-ups. Thanks for understanding.)

Q. When is the cutoff to register for the Summit?

The last day to register for Summit is July 7, 2025, but registration will close early if we reach 1,200 attendees—so don’t wait to secure your spot!

Q. What should I bring?

Bring your laptop and/or notebook for jotting down notes and questions!

Q. What should I wear?

Attire is casual—bonus points for LifeWise apparel! Temperatures may change in conference spaces, so pack a sweater and wear comfortable shoes.

Why should you reserve rooms in the room block?

  • These negotiated rooms secure a low rate and often additional services. 
  • These rooms reservations are refundable & changeable.
  • These rooms lock the special rate at a specific hotel.
  • These hotels have been inspected by LifeWise to ensure safety and cleanliness and to make sure needs are fulfilled. 
  • These blocks track the usage of LifeWise rooms needed for this conference, which helps us secure rooms and negotiate rates for the future.  

If you use a third-party booking source (Expedia, Priceline, Hotels.com, etc…) and not the room block:

  • The group rate will not be available to you. The hotel will not honor it for the group block.
  • It hinders LifeWise’s ability to secure discounted rates for future years.
  • These rates are non-refundable, non-changeable and not flexible should you need them to be,  resulting in loss of money for you.
  • These rates guarantee a hotel within 25 miles of the expressed destination-you are not guaranteed the hotel you request.
  • Hotels outside of the block have not been inspected by LifeWise to ensure safety or cleanliness.

Q. When will my program be charged the registration fee?

Your program will be charged the fee upon registration. If you need to cancel your registration, submit a ticket to cancel and receive a refund.
