The No Regrets Conference is a men’s conference intended to help jump-start ministry to men in your local church community. It’s a one-day event that transforms men’s lives by empowering them to walk in loving, trusting obedience of Jesus Christ. Men will be encouraged to be who God created them to be and to walk in step with the Holy Spirit on a moment-by-moment basis. Following the conference, we’ll prepare you with resources to generate more small groups to connect and disciple your men for the other 364 days of the year.
The format for the event day is scalable to your specific church size and current ministry program. Invite your guys to attend the half-day conference as a way to kick off the year’s men’s small groups and events. Streamed in high-definition to your facility where you will get the full day’s program complete with 5 platform messages and 4 channels of seminars to choose from during the day.
Technically, all you need is a computer and projection screen(s) to view the conference. Make sure you test the video stream at your site before you sign up for the conference.

Once you’re signed on, you’ll have full access to downloadable promotional materials like flyers, web banners, posters, email content and social media assets to help you promote the conference. To assist you in putting together a team, streaming, organizing and running a successful conference, we have put together a Host Site Guide which will walk you through the entire process.
If you’ve never hosted with us before, we would like to get to know you better and be able to provide you with guidance on how to best plan and execute a successful conference. Please fill out this form and a representative will contact you right away.

You pay a non-refundable sign-on fee upfront designed to cover the event for your church site. You set your own ticket prices and keep additional revenues to help fund your ministry.
As a host site you choose how much you want to charge your guests for admission to the conference. With the conference being half a day, you may want to offer drinks and heavy snacks during the day and even offer a group lunch afterwards. You will want to include that in the registration fee.
In addition, there may be costs involved in promoting the conference within your area (for example, Host Site scholarships, banners, local printed pieces, regional marketing, postage, etc). However, each site is unique in how they approach their promotions and what expenses they incur.
In addition to the Senior Pastor/Leader, Host Sites will need a team of volunteers (number of volunteers depends on how many participants you will have at your host site) to promote, manage, and facilitate the overall conference experience. Seven essential leadership roles have been identified: registration, facilities, hospitality, prayer, program/worship, technical, publicity. Each role requires a different time commitment, focused months of involvement, and defined goals.
Host sites are most successful when the Senior Pastor communicates the life-changing potential of the growth and discipleship opportunities of the No Regrets conference. Although many tasks can be delegated to your leadership team, we can’t overstress the pivotal role the Senior Pastor plays as an advocate for the conference.
Online guidebooks are provided giving step-by-step instructions for each role. Your team will also have access to a wealth of helpful information through our website dedicated to providing important up-to-date information, timelines, best practices and promotional tools.
Once you register, you will have the ability to communicate with one of our Ambassadors to work with you throughout the year as well as our Host Site lead for conference questions. If you have questions please send an email to: hostsites@noregretsmen.org
You will receive the live stream via a web browser on a PC or laptop. We do not support streaming the conference over mobile devices. A webpage link will be provided to the video venues to connect to the web stream.
Browser: We recommend a “neutral” browser, or one that doesn’t depend on the operating system of your computer. These tend to use less on-board resources and result in a higher quality video. Therefore, we recommend using Firefox or Chrome in both PC and Mac environments. Please be sure you update your browsers before the event to get the most recent versions.
It is recommended to use a PC with a faster processor and graphics card. Typically, the faster the PC the better the video is going to perform. The PC should be connected to a video projector/screen and audio system for a church or large group setting. This PC should only be used to stream the conference.
We provide host sites with a test web stream to see the video quality before signing up as a host site. You can test here.
Kick-off for promoting the conference begins in October, with marketing materials available to you in September. We strongly encourage Host Sites to begin communicating with area churches and within their own congregations as early as September and October—to get the event on their winter calendars. Expect registrations to continue to come in right up until the conference. So, ongoing communication is needed with churches and individuals leading up to the event.
Yes, we are offering seminar options during period 1 by Sean McDowell, period 2 by Greg Stier and period 3 by Crawford Loritts that are targeted at high school and college men. See Conference Schedule for details.
The weekly No Regrets Leadership Podcast, which debuts in October, is hosted by Steve Sonderman, Founder and Executive Director of No Regrets Men’s Ministry.
Steve will talk candidly with your favorite speakers from past and future No Regrets conferences, pastors, thought leaders and authors on topics relevant to men’s leadership.
