New: First-Time Attendee Welcome Rate

(A Limited Invitation for New EDS Attendees)

Taking part in your first national conference is a meaningful step — and we want that first experience to feel welcoming from the very beginning.

For EDS26, we’re offering a First-Time Attendee Welcome Rate to the first six eligible members who have never attended an SDA national conference.

Qualified first-time attendees may register for $599 — a $150 savings on the All-Inclusive Conference Package when registered by the early bird deadline.

This limited opportunity is our way of opening the door a little wider and inviting new voices into the EDS experience — a first step toward going Further Together.

Why We’re Offering This

EDS is built on relationships, shared experience, and practical insight. Our members consistently say the best part of EDS is the people — the conversations, the connections, and the sense of belonging.

Still, we understand that attending a national event for the first time can feel like a leap.

This Welcome Rate reflects our commitment to making that first step feel more accessible — and more personal.

If you’ve been thinking about attending, we hope this gives you the confidence to join us.

• A friendly, supportive professional community

• Register for the All-Inclusive Conference Package by the early bird deadline
