| Question: |
Will a nursery and children's program be provided? |
| Answer: |
Nursery, Toddlers and Preschool
Unfortunately we do not have the resources to offer a Nursery or Preschool Program. What you can expect when you arrive to the conference is “Kiddie World”. This is a fun, interactive place where children can go to play with one another while the general, breakout and business sessions are taking place. Please note that “Kiddie World” is an unsupervised area, and children who enter “Kiddie World” must be accompanied by an adult.
School-Age Program: Age 5 (Kindergarten) to Grade 6
While mom and dad are being refrehed and inspired during their sessions, there are children's programs going on, too! Your children are a very important part of the NAB Family, and we have exciting and creative programs planned just for them! Parents can be confident that their children are in good hands with capable and experienced NAB childcare volunteers.
This program is packed with fun from start to finish! Age-appropriate activities will give kids special Triennial memories of their very own. Your children will be challenged in their young Christian faith through hearing inspired Biblical stories. Teachers are NAB volunteers who are commited to helping them grow as children of God. The children's program will take place during the general, breakout and business sessions. Sign up your child when registering yourself for Triennial 2012. The cost per child is $80.00. |

| Question: |
Will there be anything special for our NAB teenagers? |
| Answer: |
HEY STUDENTS!! (grades 7-12) - Your parents are planning a trip to Orlando this summer. This probably means one of three things for you: 1) you'll be dragged along kicking and screaming against your will in the name of family togetherness despite your attempts to sell your parents on your "I really need to attend band camp" idea, 2) you're actually amped for the Triennial (being a Disney princess has been a life goal) and are looking forward to quality family time playing license-plate bingo on a 30-hour road-trip, or 3) you have nothing better going on but the rents are giving you the choice on whether or not to attend. If you fit category 3 or are still on the fence about this trip, be undecided NO LONGER! The NAB Youth Ministries Leadership Team (YMLT) has a bunch of cool stuff planned for you while you're enjoying sunny Florida! Though a majority of your time will be spent with family - including hearing from incredible speakers like Francis Chan - you'll also have some time to hang out with other students your age who will be there too. We've got a variety of events planned just for you throughout the conference. From late-night hang-outs at the pool to ice-cream runs to Ben 'n Jerry's (on US!!) to a break-out session from a Hollywood professional about how to understand vampire culture - you've got plenty of opportunities to take a load off and just chill with other students at Triennial. So, whether you take it all in or just join us for one outing, we're excited to meet you and welcome you to the sunshine state! Be on the look-out for our YMLT table at the event to stay posted on all that's going on for students at the Triennial. And in the meantime, please be in touch with Mark Jaspers (mrjaspers@gmail.com) with any questions or for more info on what specifically will be offered for you. July is just around the corner and we hope to see YOU then! |

| Question: |
What is the difference between Conference Attendee and Commuter Attendee? |
| Answer: |
Simply stated, the Conference Rate is for people staying at the Peabody Hotel and the Commuter Rate is for people staying outside the Peabody Hotel.
There are several reasons for this decision, but they all revolve around the fact that the NAB has a contract with the Peabody Hotel. The hotel has granted to the NAB hundreds of thousands of dollars in concessions from their normal rates and fees. They expect room nights sold to offset the cost of hosting our event. Therefore, there are significant penalties if we do not meet the NAB obligations in this contract. The additional charge for "commuters" reflects their portion of the room night fees estimated to cover the rental, utilities, etc. |
