• What are the Christian Musician Summit conferences all about?
  The Christian Musician Summit conferences are designed for worship leaders, musicians, technicians, pastors, songwriters, and independent artists to improve skill and inspire talent for God's glory. These conferences feature the best musicians in the industry as workshop clinicians and performers. The CMS conferences also feature exhibits with audio/video and music companies who offer products and services for the Christian church market. These events provide a time for musicians and technicians of all levels to come and learn, network and fellowship. Top
• Are the conferences affiliated with any particular denomination or record label or publisher?

• Are children allowed at the Summit?
  The summit is geared toward adults and young adults. We recommend that individuals under the age of 13 not attend. There will be a few exceptions to this rule as there are some very talented young people involved in ministry. If you have questions, contact us.
  
  We ask that small children & infants NOT attend the conference workshops with parents, as they can, at times, be distracting to other attendees as well as their parents. Thank you for understanding our policy on this and being considerate of other registrants. Children may attend the concerts with their parents. Again, we ask that you be courteous to other concert-goers by taking your youngsters to the cry room or the lobby when the need arises. Top
• Should I bring my guitar to the Christian Musician Summit conference?
  You may bring an acoustic guitar to the conference, however, it is not necessary. There will be a handful of workshops where having a guitar with you may come in handy. If you decide to bring your guitar, neither the CMS nor the venue is responsible for any lost, stolen or damaged property. You will need to carry it with you, or leave it in your vehicle. Top
• Can I video or audio record speakers, artists or events at the conferences?
  Audio or video recording the workshops, sessions and/or concerts is prohibited, due to licensing issues. Top
• What about Refunds or Cancellations?
  If you are unable to attend, you have a couple of options. You can either switch over your registration to another individual, or you can contact us for an 90% refund. We need to retain 10% of the registration fee to cover various service fees.
  
  Cancellations will not be refunded after 1 month prior to the conference.
