FreedomFest Vegas meets Wednesday, July 10 – Saturday, July 13 at The Mirage Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The McCarran International Airport is just minutes away from the Vegas Strip and The Mirage Hotel & Casino.

Parking at The Mirage is $15/day for self parking and $24/day for valet. There is free parking next door at Treasure Island.

We work year-round to add speakers and content to FreedomFest. As each speaker and title is confirmed, we update our website. Visit the Speakers section on the website.

We suggest business or business casual attire for all conference sessions. The Farewell Banquet is business-formal or cocktail dress.

Please note that the conditions indoors may feel chilly for some, but warm for others – we always get comments that it’s both, at the same time! Please dress with layers so you will be comfortable.

Temperatures outdoors in Las Vegas will be extremely hot and dry. We recommend staying indoors during the daytime.

Please sign up for your registration pass and any special events (VIP breakfasts, lunches, receptions or the banquet) through FreedomFest.

While there is no specific age restriction, FreedomFest is geared toward older students and adults. We do not have any programming for young children. Children ages 12 and up will need a badge, but children under the age of 12 can be at FreedomFest as long as they are accompanied by their parent or legal guardian at all times. If a child is being disruptive, we ask that you please leave the session.

Choice reigns supreme at FreedomFest, and attendees often face the dilemma of two sessions at the same time that look appealing! If you are attending the conference with a guest, we suggest splitting up and going to the two sessions separately….it gives you great catch-up conversation when you meet back up for coffee, lunch, or dinner at the end of the day!

Also, barring any technical difficulties, we record all sessions at FreedomFest and make those sessions available over the course of the year on our YouTube channel.

All conference sessions are unreserved, first-come/first-served seating. Special event breakfasts, lunches, and the Farewell Banquet are restricted to ticket holders, but are still unreserved seating, except for the VIP tables at the banquet and head tables at VIP events.

There will be a light attendee breakfast in the Exhibit Hall available on Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings, as well as coffee breaks throughout each conference day.

There are several eateries at The Mirage, as well as several sponsor or VIP lunches available. 

At The Mirage, we recommend the following restaurants:

Anthem Film Festival screenings take place at the convention meeting space at The Mirage along with FreedomFest. Screenings and follow-up panels will be in Montego A. Film screenings shown anywhere else are NOT part of the Anthem Film Festival.

Access to the Anthem Film Festival is included in all FreedomFest registration passes.

“FreedomFest After Dark” is just as much fun as FreedomFest during the day. Choose from:

• FreedomFest Jam Session — Bring your instrument and email us if you wish to participate!
• World-famous Las Vegas Strip restaurants 
• World-class Las Vegas shows and concerts
• Anthem Movies on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday evening 
• Sponsored and Paid Receptions (see your agenda for details)
• Punching Up Comedy Festival stand-up show (extra ticket required)

Each day starts with a complimentary continental breakfast in the Exhibit Hall at the convention meeting space at The Mirage.
Then we gather together for main stage sessions in the Mirage Events Center A (Main Stage). 

Breakout sessions are located in the following rooms:

• Events Center A (Main Stage)
• Events Center C1, C2, C3
• Jamaica Rooms
• Montego Rooms
