How much does the Ei Forum cost?
Individuals For those who register before February 29, the Ei Forum is $149. After February 29, it increases to $199.
Groups and Volunteers A group rate is available for organizations or ventures that register 10 or more participants. Also, special discounts will be given to those that are able to volunteer for some part of the weekend. For more information about either of these options, please email ei@redeemer.com.
What is included in the registration cost?
The registration fee covers all materials, the reception on Friday night, and the lunch on Saturday. Registrants are responsible for their own lodging and transportation.
The real costs of hosting the Forum actually exceed the registration fees we receive because we are committed to keeping the Forum affordable for all who would like to attend. Thanks to our generous donors, we have been able to make that happen every year. If you're interested in partnering with us and making a donation of funds, goods or services, please email Ei@redeemer.com.

What is the format for the Ei Forum?
Friday
Friday evening runs from 6:30PM to 8:30PM and will include time to network with other Forum guests. During the cocktail reception, guests may mingle with our business plan competition winners who will have exhibits on display.
Saturday
Saturday will be a full day of programs which will run from 9:00AM to 4:30PM. The day will include inspiring guest speakers, breakout sessions, and discussion groups where guests can interact more with the speakers and other entrepreneurs and process the content with other participants.
More information will be provided as the Ei Forum draws near.
Who participates in the Forum?
The Ei Forum seeks to bring together entrepreneurs (for-profit, not-for-profit and the arts), investors (of time, talent and resources) and pastors/ministry leaders in order to further the movement of Gospel entrepreneurship. You help us grow our event annually by referring newcomers for us to invite. All those who support and could benefit from Ei’s vision are welcome to request an invitation.
What is the cancellation policy?
Presently, fees are nonrefundable because they provide the upfront commitment and expenses associated with securing the venue, the guest speakers, and preparation involved in producing such an event. In cases of medical emergencies, however, we will make exceptions. If you register and then are unable to attend, please consider donating your spot to a fellow entrepreneur, investor or pastor.
What is the dress code?
The Ei Forum is business casual. Ties are not required.
Will a list of attendees be made available?
Yes. A list of attendees will be emailed to all Forum participants prior to the start of the event. Only basic information will be shared.
