What is the conference age range?
Conference attendees are “mid-singles” who generally are between the ages of 27 – 42. You may be a little younger or older, so long as you feel like a mid-single at heart.

Who comes to the conference?
Not to pat ourselves on the back or anything, but this is the biggest and best conference in the world (self proclaimed and not documented for reference). We’ve averaged over 900 attendees for the past 4 conferences and this year we aim to break all attendance records. Attendees have been known to attend from all over the world. This year we hope to have the largest and most geographically diverse group ever.

Where will the activities be held?
The Friday night activities will be held at Angels’ stadium in Anaheim. All Saturday and Sunday activities, as they appear in the schedule will be linked to maps to help you navigate your way to the final destination. Many of the activities will be held at the Huntington Beach Stake Center which is located at 8702 Atlanta Avenue in Huntington Beach. [ Map ]

Where do I park?
Friday night – parking lot of Angels Stadium in Anaheim (under the A). Come sign in at our tailgate party check-in table!
Saturday and Sunday – Try to carpool as much as possible. Parking will be available at the stake center and along Atlanta Ave.[ Map ]

Logistics questions

What airport should I fly in to?
In order of ‘nearness’ to the conference, the following airports are good choices:
SNA – John Wayne airport in Santa Ana (10 miles)
LGB – Long Beach airport (15 miles) (direct flights on Delta and Jet Blue)
LAX – Los Angeles airport (40 miles… but feels like 80 in traffic)

Where should I stay?
There are many hotels at various price ranges in and around Huntington Beach. Some of the more modestly priced options are:
Days Inn, Huntington Beach or Fountain Valley – www.daysinn.com
Comfort Suites, Costa Mesa or Huntington Beach – www.choicehotels.com
Howard Johnson, Huntington Beach – www.hojo.com
Hotel Huntington Beach, www.hotelhb.com

Can I get free housing with local mid-singles?
If you have a friend who’s willing to let you sleep on the couch, then yes. There is no program to host attendees. However you can sometimes find groups on LDSLinkup.com or Facebook who are looking for other out-of-towners to share a hotel room or vacation homes for the weekend.

What is the weather in Huntington Beach like?
Well, it’s best to check the forecast a few days before you come. But generally in May, the days are sunny and in the high 70s. Nights can be chilly, so bring something warm. Also, the beach can be breezy, so plan appropriately.

What should I wear?
For Friday and Saturday activities, please dress in church-standard, casual attire. What does that mean exactly? Among other things, yes to sleeves, yes to jeans, no to bikinis or miniskirts. Wear modest swimwear and beach attire for beach activities. In all things, remember, Modest is Hottest! Sacrament meeting, fireside and temple sessions require Sunday attire.
