Store representatives registering for RRW can bring a second attendee for free, while qualifying attendees will have accommodation and some travel costs reimbursed.

Among the suppliers registered for the event are Crossway, Not of This World, Kerusso, Tyndale House Publishers, DaySpring and Zondervan.
