I just registered for the General event and the Thursday intensives. Do I choose which intensives I will want to attend?? The registration did not ask me for this information unless I missed it.
Thank you

Is there a way I can still register or come to this conference
Hi Mr. Petty,
My name is Eddi Porter and I am a member of Team TAG ’24. Unfortunately we sold out approximately 2 months ago, and have over 50 people on the waitlist. Unless something unforeseen occurs, we will not have capacity this year. However, the plenary speeches will be recorded and posted on the Apprentice Institute YouTube Channel. There is no charge to access these talks. This is a link to the talks. https://www.youtube.com/@ApprenticeinstituteOrg Thank you for contacting the Apprentice Institute.
I am a first timer with The Apprentice Gathering, and I understand there are some issues with the email notifications for workshop signups. I don’t want to miss out if something has been announced yet.
Thank you.
Hi Judy,
Please see your email for a response to this inquiry.
Thank you,
Team TAG ’24
Are there any scholarship opportunities for the gathering to assist someone in the ministry to be able to afford to attend?
Hi Kathleen,
Thank you for contacting Team TAG ’24. While we do not livestream the conference, all plenary talks are posted on the Apprentice Institute YouTube channel 4 to 6 weeks after the gathering. There is no charge to access these videos. This is the link: https://www.youtube.com/@ApprenticeinstituteOrg. (Talks from past conferences are currently available for viewing.)
If you circumstances change and you are able to attend a gathering in person, we would love to have you!
Blessings,
Eddi Porter and Team TAG

This is the 2nd year we missed registration. I didn’t receive an email about it. I’m so disappointed. Could you please let me know each year when registration opens….
Thank you.
Hi Dorothy,
I sent you an email last week, but am wondering if you received it, so I will try on this website. The first came from my personal email address, eddip@hotmail.com.
This is what it read:
Hi Dorothy,
Thank you for contacting Team TAG ’24. I see that you want to register for the gathering this year. Honestly, while the system wait-listed our attendance at 650, I predict that we will be able to register additional individuals who are on the list. We always have registrants who, for a multitude of reasons, have to roll their registration over to the following year.
If you want to go ahead and enter your information, you will have a spot on the wait list…. It’s a bit like flying stand-by! When a seat opens up, we will contact you to see if you are interested.
If you have any questions or difficulties doing so, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 713-516-6359.
Love and blessings,
Eddi

Could you please put me (and my husband) on a wait list?
I don’t see a place to do that on this website now that it is sold out.
Thank you,
Jan
Hi Jan,
I am so sorry. Our waitlist has now reached 50, so we are unable to add additional registrants. If we fall below 50, we would be delighted to add your name to the waitlist.
Registrations for the 2025 Gathering are offered starting September 28, 2024 until they are sold-out. If you are interested, you may want to consider registering then for 2025. In the meantime, we will post the 2024 all-conference plenary talks on this website: https://www.youtube.com/@Apprenticeinstitute.Org if you are interested in listening to them. There is no charge for these viewings.
Please don’t hesitate to contact Team TAG, either through this website or at eddip@hotmail.com. My phone number is 713-516-6359.
Blessings to you and your husband.
Eddi Porter
When do I find out if I’ve been able to move from the wait list to an attendee?
Hi Rosina,
Thank you for contacting TEAM TAG ’24. You are about in the middle of the waitlist, so I would say there is about a 25-30% chance that we will reach your name on the waitlist. I am so sorry, but I can tell you that all of the plenary talks will be posted on the Apprentice Institute YouTube channel a couple months after the gathering. This is the link: https://www.youtube.com/@ApprenticeinstituteOrg/videos. These are complementary to anyone who chooses to view them.
Love and blessings,
Eddi Porter

Thank you! I enjoyed last year’s talks on YouTube!
Hi there. Will there be shuttle services available again this year from the hotels to the university and back each day? The shuttle services last year were wonderful!
Hi Amber,
Yes, we will be running a complementary shuttle between the Drury Hotel, the Homes2Suites, and the university. Keep those questions coming! See you soon!
Blessings,

How do I go about canceling my registration? Is it too late to receive a refund?
Hi Rachel,
Thank you for contacting Team TAG. While we are unable to issue a refund, we can offer a one-time rollover to 2025, or you can choose to gift your registration to someone else. Please email me at eddip@hotmail.com, indicating what you would like to do. I am sorry you will not be able to join us in September.
Take care, and God bless.
Eddi and Team TAG.
