What to Wear
We will be in the heart of Nashville, TN during December where it will be roughly 50 degrees. Our vibe will be casual and fun!
We will also have MERCH on site that you can buy and change into if you want, so dress accordingly!
Where to stay
A huge part of the In Person HODC NASH will be COMMUNITY. We highly recommend considering staying at one of our suggested hotels and connecting with others before the event.
There are LOADS of hotels walking distance to the venue in downtown! We recommend this area because it’s packed with many fun things to do pre and post conference. We don’t want the mingling to happen just while we are at the conference! We have a special HOD 2 night Hotel Block with a discount for the 29th, 30th at the Hyatt House which is essentially next to the venue. CLICK HERE to be directed to the HOD discount link!
You can join our HOD FB community where we will have a private event for those attending in person who want to coordinate details like Hotel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a HYBRID event?
This conference is a HYBRID event! This gives attendees the option to either come watch the content and meet other singles in REAL LIFE while still giving online attendees the option to join virtually from the comfort of their own home. Here’s how it will work:
LIVE Sessions:
To create a conference feel for all attendees, both conference days will have all LIVE sessions! These LIVE sessions will be LIVE STREAMED for all online guests. Live streamed sessions include worship/ entertainment, Q&A panels, and all guest speakers.
Meet Singles:
Both online and in-person attendees will have the opportunity to meet other singles & make friends.
For online attendees, your ticket includes access to our Online Singles Party.
For In person attendees, your ticket includes an in-person Singles Party that will cap out Day 2 of the conference on Saturday evening.
Continued Content:
We are providing you with a LOT of content (because we love you that much) and it will likely take more processing … which is why you will have access to ALL content (and chats with attendees) for 3 months from the conference launch!
We will also provide a digital workbook so you can continue watching and processing through the content.
There will also be multiple opportunities for conference attendees to continue connecting with the HOD Community through our conference app as well as additional resources we will be providing (app launching a few weeks PRIOR to conference)
Is this a 2 day event?
Yes!!! We will begin around 5pm Friday December 29th for Day 1! Day 2 will begin on Saturday morning and go until late afternoon. All attendees will have a break before the Singles Party that night!
What topics will you be covering?
This event is intentionally created to be practical and filled with wisdom to empower you! Because of that, we've compiled the BEST possible speakers to cover and speak on a variety of topics answering questions that you guys ask us all the time!
Our Heart of Dating Conference NASH Theme is IGNITED.

This is perfect for you! You will get to go through all the conference material with other singles in your area! Each watch party will look a little different as each church will have more details on what exactly you can expect!

Parking Updates
Parking at the venue is limited. There are few spots in the lot and then street parking. If you absolutely need to bring your car, get there early to park. For everyone else we highly encourage you to UBER/ taxi to the venue. Even if you are local to Atlanta, please consider ubering! There are tons of attendees who are sharing ubers from The Canopy Hotel and other hotels in Midwotn.
For breaks and food, there is a coffee shop and some restaurants within walking distance. We will also be providing snacks, a coffee cart, and food trucks. :)
What to bring in person?
Our main conference day on Saturday will be approximately 9AM-9:30PM with breaks for lunch and dinner (not provided)— it’s a long and filled, FUN day! We recommend bringing a refillable water bottle, any snacks you want (we will also provide snacks), a journal, wearing comfortable attire, and even bringing a blanket if you really want to get cozy!
INFO FOR VIP TICKET HOLDERS
Please note you need a VIP ticket to come to our VIP soirée!
Make sure you reserve your calendar on Friday, February 17th from 5-7pm. THE VIP night will be 2 hours long! That means you should be looking to make your travel arrangements to Atlanta accordingly!
The soirée will be at The Stave Room: 199 Armour Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30324
Let's clarify attire! Attire is Casual BUT Dress to Impress!! Think of a nice dinner or evening out- but NOT as fancy as actual cocktail attire! :)

You will be able to spend time with JJ and Kait as well as some other HODC speakers (SHHH it's a surprise who will be coming, but it's gonna be AWESOME!).
You will get to take photos, hang with us, ask us any questions you want, meet some of the speakers, AND get to meet some of your other attendees in a private and pretty setting.
