Attending Wave Conference 2027 with your family

Families planning to attend Wave Conference 2027 can start by matching each family member with the appropriate session or registration category. The conference takes place October 6–7, 2027, at Wave Church, 1000 N. Great Neck Rd., Virginia Beach, VA 23454. This guide brings together the published age ranges and attendance information, along with questions to confirm before making family travel plans.

Which gatherings can families attend?

Evening sessions are free and open to everyone, including friends and families. Morning leadership sessions require paid registration and are designed for pastors, ministry leaders, and the teams who serve alongside them. These are different attendance options, so an adult morning ticket should not be treated as confirmation of childcare or student registration. See the registration and ticket guide for the listed categories.

Childcare and student age ranges

The conference website lists childcare at $25 per child for ages 9 months through 5th grade. PK Sessions are listed at $60 for middle school and high school students. Check the current event registration details before selecting either option. Published prices and age ranges do not establish which sessions are covered or guarantee availability. If your child falls outside those ranges, ask the organizers what attendance options apply rather than assuming a category will accommodate them.

Questions to ask before booking

Before finalizing plans, confirm any details your family depends on, such as childcare session coverage, drop-off and collection instructions, or support for a specific need. These arrangements are not confirmed by this guide. Use the conference contact page to reach Wave Church through its published channels, and review the event details on Brushfire before purchasing.

Build a flexible family itinerary

Session times are still to be determined. Check the conference schedule closer to the event before arranging meals and travel around particular sessions. Keep each registration confirmation available and agree on transportation plans with the adults attending. For an overview of what to prepare, read the first-time visitor checklist; for public evening attendance, visit the evening-session guide.
