50-150 depending on your market and promotion. We've seen conferences as small as 40 and as large as 200+

It’s not a total loss. Our upside is the ticket split after costs but yours includes referral commissions—and here's the important part: you still get 20% commission on every marketing plan contract signed by an attendee, regardless of ticket sales. So even if the event breaks even on tickets, the real revenue comes from the pastors and leaders who connect with Good Grain Creative afterward. That's where hosting pays off long-term.

A venue (150-300 capacity), AV setup (or we can recommend providers), and promotion to your network. That's it.

Most of the costs are travel, lodging, catering, venue rental (if applicable), and promotion materials. The exact amount depends on location and event size, but we typically estimate $1,500-2,000 per event. Once ticket sales cover those costs, profits split 50/50 with your church.

The four presentations stay the same—they're designed as a complete arc. But we can adapt timing, add breaks, or customize the opening/closing to your community.

We provide email templates, social graphics, talking points, and sample messaging. You send to your list and network. We promote on our channels too. It's a partnership. You may see some advertisements sponsored by Good Grain Creative in the days leading up to our event.

Absolutely. Some host cities do spring and fall events.

Talk to us. We're flexible. But the core four presentations are the anchor.

Not necessarily. If your church has a venue, great—that saves money. If you need to rent a space, that becomes part of the event costs we split. Either way, we work together to find the most cost-effective solution.

We can recommend local caterers and help coordinate, but typically the host church handles catering arrangements. This also gives you flexibility to choose what works for your budget and community.
