You will benefit, not only from the spiritual association during the three-day convention, but also by spending three additional days with the local brothers either before or after the convention so that there may be “an interchange of encouragement by one another’s faith.” (Romans 1:12) Therefore, you will spend at least seven nights in the convention city.
You will be required to make your own reservation directly with one of the hotels listed on JW Hub. Selected delegates should make their hotel arrangements within 30 days after their selection. If a delegate has not confirmed within 60 days, his application will likely be canceled.
The host branch office will create an itinerary for your group based on your activity preferences. This will include field service, attending a gathering with local brothers, and possibly visiting places of local interest. No plans should be made until you have been selected as a delegate.
Airfare, hotel stays, meals, and other costs can be expensive. Heed Jesus’ advice at Luke 14:28 to “calculate the expense.”
Only individuals who are selected by the branch office as delegates should plan to attend one of the conventions. Problems arise when individuals who are not delegates attend these events due to the limited amount of space at each convention location.
