Event Info
Event Date
The event will take place from the 10th to the 16th August 2026. You can access an overview of our Daily Schedule here.
Target Audience
The target audience is adults, educators, parents, interested church members (even if they are single and have no children of their own), and families – including children of every age group. Since the message of true education is the same as the message of salvation and redemption, this is targeted to every one that wants to grow spiritually and in their love for their Maker and Redeemer. We encourage families to attend together, and all ages will benefit from the varied and interactive programs and presentations.
Event Location
The event will take place in Austria at Seminar Schloss Bogenhofen, a wonderful family friendly event center with nature gardens, recreational facilities and historic buildings to explore.

Neighboring towns are Sankt Peter (southwest), Hagenau (north), and Mining am Inn (east). For more information about the event location, please click here.
