Your first visit to Wave Conference 2027

Attending Wave Conference for the first time starts with choosing the part of the gathering that fits your plans. The conference takes place October 6–7, 2027, at Wave Church in Virginia Beach, Virginia. This first-visit checklist offers practical preparation suggestions. It does not replace the organizers’ arrival instructions, confirmed schedule, or registration terms.

Choose which sessions to attend

Morning leadership sessions require paid registration and are intended for pastors, ministry leaders, and the teams who serve alongside them. Evening sessions are free and open to everyone. You can attend the evenings without purchasing morning registration. Read the evening-session guide if you are deciding whether to join friends or family for the public gatherings. For morning attendance, review the listed registration options and confirm the event year before purchasing.

Prepare your own arrival checklist

Save the venue address: Wave Church, 1000 N. Great Neck Rd., Virginia Beach, VA 23454. Keep any registration confirmation easy to find and decide how you will travel to and from the venue. If you are meeting another attendee, agree on how you will contact each other. Exact session times are still to be determined, so check the schedule closer to the conference before finalizing your itinerary.

Ask about needs before traveling

If your visit depends on accessibility arrangements, seating assistance, or another specific accommodation, ask the organizers rather than assuming a service is available. Use the published contact channels to explain what information you need. Families should also check the current childcare and student-session details before booking. The website’s age ranges and prices are a starting point, not confirmation of availability for every session.

Leave room to participate thoughtfully

Consider bringing a notebook to capture questions and ideas that you want to revisit. If you attend with a team, set aside time afterward to share what stood out without feeling you must discuss everything immediately. First-time visitors can use the About page to learn more about the conference and the conference guide to find the wider planning information in one place.
