- Can someone come with me if they aren’t pre-registered?
Yes, someone can come without pre-registering. They will not be able to purchase lunch because it must be pre-ordered before September 12th, and they will need to register onsite.
- Can I come to only part of the conference if I can’t come to all of it?
Yes, you can attend as much or as little as you are able. It is designed so you will receive the most benefit if you attend the whole conference. If you need to rest, there will be a Comfort room available for taking little naps during the day.
- Can my husband (or wife, sister, son, friend, etc.) come with me?
Yes, we encourage family members and friends to attend.
- Is this only for cancer patients? What if I have AIDS (or heart disease, diabetes, etc.)?
This conference focuses on healing rather than curing. Healing is the same for everyone, no matter what disease you have experienced. Many people, with or without disease, have said they benefited from attending this conference.
- Will there be break-out sessions so I will have to choose which one to go to?
Everyone will be in the large auditorium for the whole conference. You won’t miss anything.
- How can I meet others with the same kind of cancer I have?
If you stay for lunch, there will be signs on the tables for various groups and you can choose who you would like to sit with. For example, “lung cancer,” or “women with double mastectomies.” Also, if you choose to be identified, your name badge will have a sticker on it and you can look for others with the same sticker (for example, an open winged butterfly if you have lung cancer).
- Will there be bottled water available at the conference?
No. Instead, we will provide a water station with filtered water and recommend you bring your own closed container. Only closed containers will be allowed in the auditorium.
- If I sign up for Continuing Education, when will I receive my certificate?
It will be available for you to pick up at the Information Table in the lobby as you leave, as long as you have signed in at the Continuing Education area.
- Are there restaurants in the area where I can get lunch if I don’t order the box lunch?
There are restaurants in the small town of Yountville, about a 5 minute drive from the Lincoln Theater. There are no restaurants within easy walking distance. You may also bring your lunch.
- I get tired easily and don’t think I can sit all day. Is there a place I can rest?
There will be a Comfort Room with some futons and lounge chairs where you can rest if you need to.
- Can I park close to the theater?
The parking lots are a short walk. If you have difficulty with walking, we recommend you have someone drop you off right in front of the theater. Click to see the Driving & Parking Directions.
- Do I have to pay for parking?
No. There are free parking lots available at the Lincoln Theater, and there are specific ones we may park in. Click to see the Driving & Parking Directions. Please note: Parking is limited. Please carpool if you can.
- I can’t drive right now. Are there car pools?
