How does the rebate for the two WELS conferences work?
Individuals who register to attend both the WELS National Conference on Worship, Music, and the Arts and the WELS Women’s Ministry Conference will receive a rebate of $150 after attending both conferences. Attendees must register for both conferences separately.
When arriving onsite for each of the conferences, attendees will be checked into each conference. After both conferences have concluded, WELS will issue the individual a rebate if they qualify by attending both conferences.
