										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have recently posted the <a href="https://vcwconf.com/2026-conference-schedule">general conference schedule</a> (including some pre-conference dates) on the website. We will be adding various deadlines, etc. to the schedule at a later date.</p>
<p>If you have attended Vision before, please take a close look at the basic workshop schedule as it has changed from previous conferences, when all workshops began on the hour. This year, they begin at 1:00 p.m., 2:10 p.m., 3:20 p.m. and (except Sunday) 4:30 p.m. This increases the length of each workshop and gives some additional time between workshops.</p><p>The post <a href="https://vcwconf.com/news/2026-general-conference-schedule-now-available">2026 General Conference Schedule Now Available</a> first appeared on <a href="https://vcwconf.com">Vision Christian Writers Conference</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We know that attending a conference is an investment—not just of your time and energy, but also your finances. That’s why we’re excited to offer a payment plan to make it easier and more manageable for you to join us.</p>
<h1>Spread the Cost, Reduce the Stress</h1>
<p>Instead of paying the full amount up front, our payment plan allows you to divide the total cost of your registration into smaller, more manageable payments. Each installment will be roughly equal<sup>1</sup>, helping you plan ahead and stay on budget without a large one-time expense. Right now, until July 14, the plan will be for seven payments, reducing to six payments until July 30th, then gradually reducing to a minimum of four payments from October 1.</p>
<h1>How It Works</h1>
<p><strong>Simple Sign-Up</strong>: Choose the room type you would like to be registered in then <a href="https://vcwconf.com/registration/payment-plan">complete our easy payment plan request form</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Initial Invoice</strong>: After requesting the payment plan, you will be emailed an invoice, which is due on receipt. Once paid, you are formally accepted onto the plan and your room will be reserved.</p>
<p><strong>Automatic Payments</strong>: Your card will be charged automatically each month—no need to remember due dates or log in each time. These payments will be either on the 15th of each month or 1st of each month, depending on when you sign up<sup>2</sup>.</p>
<p><strong>Evenly Spaced</strong>: Payments are spread out, giving you time to plan and prepare financially as the event approaches.</p>
<h1>Need a More Customized Schedule?</h1>
<p>If you need a plan that is more customized to your individual situation, we may be able to work with to create a tailor-made plan, just for you. Just write to conference@vcwconf.com with &#8220;Customized Payment Plan&#8221; as the subject and we&#8217;ll do our best to accommodate you.</p>
<h1>Why Choose the Payment Plan?</h1>
<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f4b8.png" alt="💸" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Budget-Friendly – Keep your monthly expenses predictable.</p>
<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f5d3.png" alt="🗓" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Stress-Free – Automatic payments mean less to keep track of.</p>
<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f4ac.png" alt="💬" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Peace of Mind – You can secure your spot now and pay gradually over time.</p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;re saving up, managing household finances, or just want a bit more breathing room, our payment plan is designed with you in mind.</p>
<p>We can’t wait to welcome you to the conference—and our payment plan makes it easier for that to happen!</p>

<p>The post <a href="https://vcwconf.com/news/2023-workshop-audio-recordings-now-available">2023 Workshop Audio Recordings Now Available</a> first appeared on <a href="https://vcwconf.com">Vision Christian Writers Conference</a>.</p>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello All!</p>
<p>During the conference, we were often asked if workshops were going to be recorded. The answer is, YES, we have audio recordings for 36 of the workshops available.</p>
<p>Did you miss that amazing workshop on podcasting? What about that platform building and marketing info? Were you torn between two great options that happened to be at the same time? Here’s your chance to “attend” the workshops you missed!</p>
<p>Even though all 36 can be subscribed to as a group for a total cost of less than $5 per workshop, we know that not everyone is interested in every topic. So, to make things even more affordable, there are five groupings of workshops to choose from:</p>
<ul>
<li>All Workshops</li>
<li>Only Fiction Workshops</li>
<li>Only Nonfiction Workshops</li>
<li>Only Marketing Workshops</li>
<li>Only Various/Other Workshops</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">(Note: Some workshops are in more than one grouping. )</span></p>
<p>Each grouping is priced according to how many are in that category. Once purchased, they will be available to listen to on this website for 60 days, though there is an option to extend that time should you need it.</p>
<p>Please note, these recordings are only available to listen to online. Do not forward, link to, record, or share these workshops. We need to respect our faculty and their proprietary teaching so that it is not offered or available to anyone outside conference attendees. Violation of this could end our ability to make workshop recordings available in the future.</p>
<p>In order to access the audio recordings, please follow these steps:</p>
<ul>
<li>Click on the &#8220;2023 Audio&#8221; menu item (or the first item from the drop-down) and read through the details. Then click the &#8220;Subscribe to Audio Recordings&#8221; button at the bottom of the page.</li>
<li>For first time users, you will then need to (re)set your password, from the <a href="https://vcwconf.com/log-in" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Log In page</a>. Every attendee has an account on the website that uses the email address connected to your conference registration.</li>
<li>After logging in, you should then be redirected to the <a href="https://vcwconf.com/subscribe-to-2023-conference-audio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">main Subscription page</a> where you can choose the option you want. There will also be additional menu options under the &#8220;2023 Audio&#8221; menu item once you&#8217;ve logged in.</li>
<li>Once you&#8217;ve subscribed, the recordings can also be accessed from the drop-down menu or <a href="https://vcwconf.com/2023-workshop-audio-links" target="_blank" rel="noopener">from this page.</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Note: If you did not attend (or register for) the 2023 conference and would like to access the recordings, we are making all 36 available for a total cost of $699. Please use our <a href="https://vcwconf.com/contact-vcwc">Contact Form</a> to contact us for more details.</p>
