The FIRM Foundation's 18th semi-annual International Book of Mormon Evidence Conference is going to be amazing! You will hear and learn about the most recent research directly from studied and knowledgable LDS experts relating to the field of Book of Mormon study.  You will have the opportunity to meet and mingle  with some of the most talented and amazing artists, musicians, sculptors, song writers and performers.

You will come away from this conference even more energized about the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon.  You'll be better informed about the importance of the Hill Cumorah in New York and how you can help to bring about a mighty change in our nation through an understanding of The American Coveannt Prophecies and Promises upon "this land," the United States of America.  

Event Pricing:    

Full 3-Day Conference Pass   -   $30 

Full 3-Day Family* Pass         -    $50

Daily Pass                                   -    $15 

* Family is defined as parents and children living in the same household. Also, there have many questions about how to give names of family members in the registration process.  The family pass is registered to only ONE person and that person should bring the printed paid registration (emailed to you apon completed registration) to the event registration desk, along with family members to receive their wrist band passes. 

Notice: 9/01/16 - We have expanded the number of seats from 500 to  600 to accommodate all we can into the event.  However, we are again nearly at capacity and will likely be forced to shut down registration in the next day or two.   Our last 6 events have had crowds averaging 3,500-5,500 in attendance which is why this event has sold out quickly.  If you would like to attend, we strongly suggest registering now!  When the seats are gone, registration will close automatically and no further registrations can be accepted. Thank you for understanding. 

Why the Changes from Expo to Conference?
As many of you remember, our fall event last year was held at the South Towne Expo Center where we had one of the five exposition halls while the Fall Homeshow had three and the Gluten Free Expo took the final (5th) hall.  Earlier this spring South Towne contacted us because the Gluten Free Expo was requesting an additional hall to expand their event.  Since we've been holding events there longer, we had the right of first refusal... but we would have to commit to taking the hall they were in last fall as well as the one we used.  The cost of these halls are huge and we were barely able to utilize one full hall, much less two, so we told them we could not fill both halls as well as all their meeting rooms, which we need for the other tracks for our event.  So they had to give our space to Gluten Free Expo and help us find another weekend near our regularly scheduled fall event. 

Venue Challenges
As it turned out, there was no weekend where all the meeting rooms are available and one hall.  We were left without a venue that can handle an event of our size and other venues in the region were either out of our budget range, or had no openings.  There are only a handful of venues that can accommodate our event, so we have had to make some pretty hard and drastic decisions about it.  We finally decided to forego the full expo.  South Towne had one of their large meeting room spaces available for us so we could continue with our semi-annual Book of Mormon Evidence Conferences.

So we are very sorry to announce that there will not be a full expo this fall, but we will be continuing with the Book of Mormon Evidence Conference. 

Next Spring Expo
AND... we also want to announce that WE DO HAVE THE UCCU CENTER AT UVU in OREM RESERVED FOR NEXT SPRING, APRIL 6, 7, & 8TH AND IT WILL BE OUR BIGGEST EVER!  So please mark your calendars!
