Featured Keynote Speakers
| Hal & Melanie YoungRaising Real Men | website | blog | podcast We’re Hal and Melanie Young. We’re not just authors and speakers, but we’re the parents of six sons (in a row!) and two daughters. The experience of raising this van-full has proved two things - you need God’s wisdom to raise a family, and you need help to make it practical! That’s our goal and message—start with Biblical foundations, then share how to put principles into practice. |

Convention Information
Name Badges
Please wear your name badge at all times during the convention. They are your proof of registration. On your final exit from the convention, please return lanyards and badges to the baskets at Registration as you leave convention.
Face Mask Policy
PAACH believes in honoring and respecting the freedom and responsibility of each speaker, vendor and attendee. This means we hold to the position that each person can make their own decision on what is safest and best for their family. We will have hand sanitizing stations available throughout the venue and have made efforts to social distance when available and appropriate. Mask usage is optional and will not be enforced by PAACH volunteers. However, some vendors may request you to wear a mask while in their booth. If you would like to shop with that particular vendor, you may want to bring a mask to be prepared.
Youth
Children ages 12+ may attend any workshop. Children under the age of 12 must be with an adult at all times if they’re not attending a specific youth session. All children of all ages need to be in the sanctuary during both morning keynotes if they’re not attending a special 9 a.m. session. Thank you for your cooperation.
NO SKATEBOARDING allowed on church property. Please do not go down by the pond.
Parents
During workshops if your infants or young children make distracting noises, even happy ones, we ask that you immediately leave the room out of consideration for the speaker, fellow attendees, and the quality of the MP3 recording. The infant care room is available for you to use. An adult must remain with their infant at all times.
Food
Food is only allowed in the eating areas (or outside, weather permitting). While water bottles with lids are allowed in classrooms, no liquid of any kind is allowed in the sanctuary. Thank you for showing your appreciation for the wonderful facilities by respecting these requests. The main dining area ais located in the 924 building across the parking lot out the back doors of the vendor hall. For your convenience, food trucks will be available for lunch and parked near the 924 building from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. both Friday and Saturday.
