This conference is for individuals ranging from post-college to mid-thirties. It's a conference for those of us who are in still in the process of figuring out how to live biblically in this crazy world. This conference is for young adults passionate about pursuing Christ and changing their generation... and generations to come.

Dallas is known for a few things: BBQ, big hair, and a great skyline (nationally ranked, not trying to brag); but it’s mostly known for being a big part of Texas. The good news is, like most other big cities, Dallas has a lot of hotels.

Since announcing we will be at the Comerica Center in Frisco, we have partnered with two hotels in the area. Embassy Suites and Hilton Garden Inn.

Is there such a thing as a conference without speakers? Probably. Is that what you should expect for AWAKEN? No. We have amazing speakers lined (or lining) up, and you’re not going to want to miss their insight on things like changing the world, leading yourself, leading others, you get the picture. But brace yourself, because this conference will be about much more than great speakers. It will be about young adults coming together to be inspired and unleashed to the adventure of following Jesus. That being said, stay tuned, we’ll probably let names slip along the way.

Some of you are thinking, “what’s LAUNCH?” To you we say, first, LAUNCH was an event The Porch hosted for years. We took 1000 young adults from Dallas to small town Texas for three days and it was by far the most successful event in The Porch’s history. Every year it would sell out in minutes. Why would we stop that? Because we couldn’t invite all of our friends from across the country. That bummed us out. So now we’re taking things to the next level and inviting everyone, literally, everyone. Including you!

We knew you were smart. We think the Church is the hope of the world and we would consider it a privilege for young adult ministries from other churches to attend AWAKEN together. We have group rates available.

We’re in the business of keeping the main thing the main thing. Your ticket will cover all things speakers, sessions, worship, and activities. Yes, it does cover the nametag and lanyard #basic.

We may not be able to make good food, but we (and Yelp) know where it’s at. The Dallas Convention Center has awesome restaurants within walking distance … #eatlocal and #discoverDallas. You won’t go hungry. Trust us.

Ah, the classic question of our generation. Thankfully, since we’re largely run by some of our own, yes. You can request a 90% refund up to 60 days out. Here is some good news, registrations are transferable!
