General Information

  • The MORE Women’s Conference is a weekend event inspired by Ephesians 3:20, designed to uplift and empower women in their faith journey. It seeks not only to encourage but also to equip women with practical, everyday strategies to find joy in difficult seasons, break through limitations, and embrace the abundant life Christ offers, regardless of their circumstances.

  • Rooted in Isaiah 43:18–19, this year’s theme, “A New Thing”, calls women to let go of the past, move forward in faith, and boldly embrace the new work God is doing in their lives—trusting that He desires to do immeasurably MORE through tender hearts fully surrendered to Him. With powerful teaching, moving worship, and plenty of laughter, women will be inspired and encouraged to move forward in faith and embrace what God is doing next.

    Tinley Park, IL 60477

    We’ve taken over the entire convention center! Everything is conveniently hosted under one roof at the Tinley Park Convention Center, with plenty of room to move around, ample bathrooms, and easy access to the auditorium, registration, lunch, and the Blooming Boutique. The conference this year is designed specifically to make your experience comfortable and stress-free (yes alumni, even registration!).

  • Sure is. You can find the TPCC layout map customized to the MORE Women’s Conference here.

    The layout will also be in your conference program.

  • This event is an in-person event only. At this time, we do not have the capability to live-stream the event, and videos will not be available afterward. We hope you’ll join us in person to fully engage in the worship, teaching, and community that make this event so special for everyone.

  • Yes. The safety of our guests is a top priority. Professional, armed security will be present throughout the conference to help ensure a safe and secure environment for all attendees.

  • This conference is designed for adult women, although girls age 12 and older are also invited to attend and join in the experience. This is a faith-based event, so there will not be any inappropriate content, however, there may be mature content or testimonies shared that are not suitable for young children.

  • We warmly welcome ladies with infants, with the request that crying or loud infants be stepped out of the auditorium to minimize distractions. A private nursing room will be available for your comfort.

  • The Saturday conference is an all-day event so we want you to be comfortable (perhaps not PJs comfortable, but no need to get fancy). We do, however, respectfully request that our guests dress appropriately and not wear clothing with offensive wording.

    Our Friday night “Even MORE” Girls Night conference kickoff add-on event is another story! Girlfriend, you dress as comfy as you want! Appropriate PJ’s are welcomed and slippers are encouraged! Wear a robe, bring a blanket…we don’t care! It will be a super casual, scaled down, roll-up your-sleeves-and-dig-in-to-God’s-Word night!

  • There is PLENTY of parking at the TPCC, with adequate handicapped parking and plenty of space at the entrances for drop-off. No need for shuttles and it’s all free.

    Main entrance (and shortest walk to registration) to the conference is located at the SOUTH ENTRANCE which is clearly marked on the building.

  • Yes, there will be a complimentary coffee and tea station to enjoy from the time doors open at 7:15 am until afternoon break ends at 2:45 pm. Water stations will be open all day. For fancy coffee lovers, there are several coffee shops near the TPCC, but the Dunkin Donuts located at 7086 183rd St, Tinley Park, IL is right across the street. Guess what? You can even bring your coffee inside the auditorium!

  • Building doors and registration opens at 7:15 am. The auditorium doors open at 7:45 am for VIP ticket holders, and at 8:15 am for General Admission.

  • There are not assigned seats. There will be a section reserved for VIP seating right up front, but there is open seating within that area for VIP ticket holders. The rest of the area is General Admission open seating with the exception of reserved seats for wheelchairs/disability and ASL interpreting.

  • You are welcome to place a jacket or personal item on your seat during lunch so you can return to your original morning session seats. However, we ask that you only save seats you will return to. Please note: You do this at your own risk - MORE Conference and TPCC are not responsible for lost or stolen items.

  • Absolutely! We have seats reserved for guests with mobility needs and wheelchair-accessible seating is available throughout the auditorium. We also have a designated ASL interpreter section. For more information, see Disability Accommodations and make sure you contact us in advance if so we can ensure the best experience for you.

Ticketing and Check-in (GA)

  • After purchase, each attendee will receive an email containing their ticket QR code. An email address is required for every individual ticket holder, even for group purchases, and tickets are sent directly to each attendee.

    Tickets will be scanned at check-in and can be presented either on a mobile device or as a printed copy.

  • Upon arrival, attendees should proceed to the registration hall in the South Pavilion, directly across from the main South Hall entrance. At check-in, tickets will be scanned and attendees will receive their swag bag, entry badge (with lunch ticket attached, if applicable), and a lanyard. Lanyards must be worn for the entire duration of the conference—access to the auditorium will not be permitted without it.

  • There will be a Will Call table for ticket pick-up and assistance next to the MORE Conference merchandise booth in the lobby between the South Entrance at the registration pavilion. This table will serve both General Admission and VIP guests. 

  • We are so sorry you will miss the conference! Unfortunately, all ticket sales are final. Tickets are transferable, so you may give your ticket to someone else if you are unable to attend.

Ticketing and Check-in (VIP)

  • There is a separate VIP registration area located directly inside the West Entrance to the TPCC. VIP guests should park closest to this entrance for quick and easy access to registration. There is not a special VIP entrance to the auditorium. VIP ticketholders will have a different badge/lanyard color to identify their access.

    Upon check-in, VIP guests will receive their exclusive VIP gift, swag bag, and VIP badge and lanyard (with lunch ticket attached, if applicable). Lanyards must be worn for the entire duration of the conference—access to the auditorium and the reserved VIP seating section will not be permitted without it.

  • No…and yes. It depends. There will be a 200-seat VIP section blocked off and reserved front and center in the auditorium. It’s recommended that our VIP ticket holders who want seats in the first few rows of this section arrive nice and early. However, all seats in the VIP area are the best in the house, so even our VIP guests who get stuck in the coffee line will be guaranteed a great seat in the VIP section!

  • You are welcome to place a jacket or personal item on your VIP seat during lunch so you can return to your original morning session seats. However, we ask that you only save seats you will return to and make sure you have your VIP lanyard on you at all time – you will not be permitted back in to the VIP section if you do not have your VIP lanyard. Please note: Save seats at own risk - MORE Conference and TPCC are not responsible for lost or stolen items.

  • No. The VIP section will be exclusively reserved and carefully attended by conference staff, ensuring a comfortable and elevated experience for our VIP guests.

  • Yes, we are committed to providing an inclusive and accessible experience for all attendees. We offer a variety of accommodations to ensure that individuals with disabilities can fully participate in the event. To arrange for disability accommodations, please call 815-939-5330.

Lunch Information

  • There is a 90-minute total lunch break from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. This allows plenty of time to eat and shop at our Blooming Boutique located in the North Hall.

  • Although lunch is not included in the ticket price, chef-prepared box lunches provided by TPCC can be purchased as an add-on when purchasing your conference ticket for $18.00. Box lunches are limited and will sell out.

  • Yes and yes! There are two lunch options available for the box lunch:

    • Smoked Turkey & Swiss Croissant

    • Balsamic Grilled Chicken Caprese on Ciabatta

    Box lunches come complete with pasta salad, potato chips, fresh fruit, and dessert. Dairy-free and gluten-free options are available. Water stations will be available in the dining hall. Please note that box lunches are limited to the first 1,000 guests.

  • Attendees who purchased a box lunch should proceed to the South Pavilion (Registration Hall) for access to the Box Lunch Dining Area. Upon presentation of the lunch ticket, guests will receive the box lunch selection they ordered and will be permitted access to the dining hall.

  • No – however, the dining hall can only seat approximately 500 people at a time, so attendees are encouraged to split time between lunch and the Blooming Boutique and consider eating later in the break. We ask that all guests limit their time in the dining hall to 30 minutes so others with lunch tickets will have the opportunity to sit down and eat.

    Seats may not be saved in the dining hall. Attendees should take their belonging with them – once they leave the dining hall re-entry will not be permitted. Attendees must have a lunch ticket to access the dining hall.

  • Unfortunately, lunch tickets cannot be refunded or exchanged for a different meal option.

  • No. Lunch tickets will sell out prior to the event and extra lunches will not be available the day of the event.

  • Please keep your lunch ticket in your lanyard badge holder to ensure safekeeping - we are unable to replace lost lunch tickets. There are many restaurants in the immediate area that are close to TPCC. See below for restaurant suggestions.

  • No, you are free to take your lunch and eat elsewhere. You may enjoy your box lunch with the rest of your group outside. You can also enjoy your lunch in your seat in the auditorium – we just ask that you throw all garbage away!

  • Guests are welcome to bring their own lunch, but TPCC rules prohibit bringing outside food into the convention center. There will not be indoor seating available to individuals who bring their own lunch. Guests may not eat in the lobby of the TPCC or the EVEN hotel. If the weather is accommodating, there are many outdoor areas on the property, including a terrace at the end of the Registration Pavilion (South Pavilion) to enjoy lunch outside. Bring a blanket and a chair and have a picnic!

  • Only individuals with a lunch ticket will be permitted access to the Dining Hall.

  • Food purchased or provided by TPCC are permitted inside the auditorium. We do ask that attendees kindly dispose of garbage and help keep the auditorium clean for others.

Friday Night “EVEN MORE” Girls Night

Add-on Conference Kickoff Event

  • Friday night’s “Even MORE” Girls Night add-on event is a limited ticket event intentionally designed to kick off the conference weekend! Set in a round-table environment, it's a whole different feel — more personal and more connected. Ladies will participate in guided table conversations led by guest speakers Debbie DelPriore and Audra Smith, creating space for honest sharing and meaningful discussion around shared topics and challenges.

    The evening also includes intimate worship by Beth Benda, Bible trivia, multiple raffles for a Meredith Andrews Meet and Greet on Saturday, and even a little bit of chocolate! Through intentional interaction and reflection, women will step into the conference on Saturday with a few new friends and hearts ready for the day ahead! 

    With an exclusive hotel discount for conference attendees at the adjacent EVEN Hotel and everything under one roof, Friday night is the perfect opportunity to turn the MORE Women’s Conference into a personal retreat — whether for yourself, with friends, or as a church group. Come Friday, stay the night, and give yourself the space to truly go deeper and get excited about what God is doing in your life!

  • No, the Friday night event is an optional $30 add-on to the Saturday MORE Conference.

  • The event will be located in the South Pavilion in the Dining Hall. Attendees will need to check-in at the Registration Hall (South Pavilion) across from the South Entrance to the building.

  • Once you check-in for the “Even MORE” event on Friday night, you will get everything you need for the weekend and will be checked in for the conference on Saturday, too! Just don’t forget to bring your lanyard on Saturday so you can get in!

  • This is a super casual, scaled down kickoff event. Food will not be available, although there will be water stations. There may be some chocolate involved though.

  • Our conference guests are not scheduled for Friday night’s event.

  • Yes! Debbie DelPriore and Audra Smith—speakers from last year’s event—will be leading workshop-style sessions designed to draw attendees deeper into God’s Word and facilitate meaningful table conversations for deeper discussion and reflection.

  • Yes! There will be a more intimate style of worship, led by Beth Benda, centered on piano and vocals, designed to foster quiet reflection and heartfelt engagement with God. Have you ever been in a room with 500 women singing worship songs and minimal accompaniment? Goosebumps! You won’t want to miss it!

  • As door and game prizes during our Friday night event only – we will be raffling off multiple tickets to a Meet & Greet with Meredith Andrews during the lunch break on Saturday between 12p and 12:30 pm! These tickets cannot be purchased! Each ticket will allow an opportunity for the winner to meet Meredith Andrews and take a quick picture. Up to 4 guests can join the winner, but there will only be one photo opportunity allowed.

  • The dress code requirement is the comfiest clothes you can find! PJ’s (appropriate, of course) are welcome and big fluffy slippers are encouraged! Let your hair down, throw on a robe or oversized cardigan and join us! We’ll just be a group of girlfriends getting to know one another, digging deeper into God’s Word, worshiping together… and sharing plenty of laughs along the way.

  • Unfortunately, the Friday night Even MORE event is designed to be a conference kickoff event and can only be purchased as an add-on to a Saturday conference ticket. You may contact us to put your name on a waitlist – if we do not sell out the Friday night event, we will contact you and offer a Friday-only ticket.
