Every minister registered in about a minute.

Registration without the busywork

A ministers and deacons meeting does not need a school wizard or a ticket booth. Each man registers himself from the link in the announcement: name, congregation, and the few questions you actually need answered.

There is nothing to pay and nothing to print. The host committee watches the list grow and plans from real numbers.

  • Attendee types you define: minister, deacon, wife, guest, whatever your meeting uses.
  • Your own questions on the form: arrival day, sessions of interest, anything you would otherwise collect by reply-all.
  • Lodging only where needed: a man an hour away drives home at night; a visitor from three states away is matched to a host family through the same host-home system used for school meetings.
  • Notices that send themselves: confirmations and lodging assignments go out by email and text, with wording you can adjust to sound like your committee.
  • Name tags and lists: Avery name tags and CSV exports straight from the roster.

Light for the host congregation too

The families hosting overnight guests sign up through a public link, the committee matches guests to beds, and both sides get a text with the details. Meals run on the connected meal planner, with the headcount pulled from registration instead of guessed.

Optional: airport transportation

A $150 add-on for meetings that need planned pickup and drop-off at the start and end of the meeting: typically 2 vans or 4 cars, no shuttle loops during the meeting. Registration collects each traveler's arrival and departure time, and we coordinate directly with local drivers in the area — no app, no link, just a call or text letting them know when they're needed.

Spend the effort on the meeting, not the list

These meetings are planned by men who already have full weeks. The administration should be a few evenings, not a second calling.

One link out, one roster back. Registration, lodging for the few who need it, meals, name tags, and a way to reach everyone at once, all reading from the same list. When the meeting moves to another area next year, the next host starts with a system instead of a stack of forwarded emails.
