Dates are June 30-July 4. Registration and detailed information about the Conference schedule and events are at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brethren.org\/ac2021\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"www.brethren.org\/ac2021\">www.brethren.org\/ac2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever thought about attending Annual Conference, but didn\u2019t want to incur the expense of traveling, this is your year to participate online! Worship is free to all, but to participate in business sessions, insight sessions (43 workshops), networking groups (44 different interest areas), and the two concerts, you need to be registered. The cost for nondelegates was reduced, just for this year, from $125 to only $99 for the entire Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Registering now is encouraged so that the Annual Conference office can get information to you (including your password to get online). After June 16, we cannot guarantee that you will receive a Conference book if you order a printed version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Registering is especially important for pastors who can receive continuing education credit for participating in insight sessions (both live and recorded).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/06\/2020-annual-conference-logo-1.gif\" alt=\"2020 Annual Conference Logo\" class=\"wp-image-14492\" \/><figcaption><em>The logo for Annual Conference 2021.
