1. Who is eligible to attend the conference?

   • The conference is open to undergraduate and graduate students, non-profit professionals, pastors, professors, business people, and anyone interested in deepening their understanding of the integration of sound economics, rigorous philosophy, and the Judeo-Christian faith.

2. What qualifies someone as an Acton Alumnus?

   • If you have previously attended a Toward a Free and Virtuous Society, Acton Symposium, Acton University, or Toward a Free and Virtuous City conference you qualify as an Acton Alumni.

3. When I'm filling out the registration form, why can't I choose certain courses?

   • Javascript must be enabled on your computer in order to fill out the registration form.
   • ENV 1, ECON 1, CATH 1, PROT 1, and GLOB 1 are pre-requisite courses. You can not register for subsequent courses in each series without first taking the pre-requisite.
   • FOUND courses are for non-Alumni only. During this time Alumni may chose from alternative course offerings.

4. What are the foundational lectures?

   • The foundational lectures (FOUND) are core courses that offer participants a framework and context rooted in Judeo-Christian anthropology. These courses are a vital first step in the exploration of the various themes and topics addressed throughout the week. We strongly suggest that all non-Alumni take the 3 course FOUND series.

5. Is it possible to bypass the foundational or pre-requisite lectures?

   • Please contact Elly Barnette at ebarnette@acton.org.

6. Is there a way to attend on a per day or per course basis?

   • The per day rate is $150, which includes lunch, dinner, and the evening lecture. The per course rate is $50. To arrange for the per day or per course rate, please contact Elly Barnette at ebarnette@acton.org.

7. Are you able to accommodate vegetarian or special request meals?

   • Yes, we are happy to accommodate vegetarian and special meal requests. You must submit your request via email to Elly Barnette at ebarnette@acton.org no later then May 11.

8. What is appropriate attire for the conference and what should I bring?

   • Business casual to casual attire.
   • We recommend everyone bring an umbrella. June in Grand Rapids is generally beautiful, but always brings with it the element of surprise!
