Packages & General Admission<\/em><\/h1>\r\n

Two ways to join the 19th Convention — a family package<\/b> that covers your whole group and supports the event, or a simple general admission<\/b> pass for each person. Compare both below.<\/p>\r\n

Convention packages<\/span>

Each package covers convention registrations for adults and children (ages 5\u201312) and, from Silver up, hotel rooms — a better value than buying passes one by one.<\/p><\/div>

General admission passes<\/h2>

Simple per-person passes. If you’re bringing family, a package usually covers everyone for a little more — see the comparison below.<\/p><\/div>

Every pass is all-inclusive<\/h3>

General admission covers Food, Snacks, Cultural Programs, Networking and Forums<\/b> across all three days.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Package vs. general admission<\/span>

Why a package is the better choice<\/h2>

A package does far more than get you through the door.<\/p><\/div>

Most families choose a package<\/strong> For not much more than individual passes, a package covers your whole family, can include your hotel stay, and makes you part of bringing the convention to life — with reserved seating, Donor Wall recognition and a tax-deductible contribution. General admission is best only if you’re attending on your own.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/section>
