Greetings!
 
There are so many exciting new things happening that it is important to be able to keep you informed with the latest news. 
 
The Zermatt resort's ballroom, where the National Book of Mormon Prophecies Conference was originally scheduled, became too small to handle such a large group.  Their huge (13,000 sq. ft) Bernese Event Center became available last week for most of the conference. Thus, the venue has changed to this beautiful room large enough to accommodate our sessions on Thursday and Friday morning. 
 
Another Zermatt client has the room reserved in the afternoon and evening so we will be dividing into 'break out' sessions for the remainder of the conference on Friday afternoon and evening. This has required some changes in the itinerary of the conference and a more complex schedule. There are now 25 confirmed speakers on multiple related subjects who will be presenting their information at the event. It has been confirmed that there will be media coverage of the event.   
 
The change in venue has required that we move the conference start time on Friday from 10:00 am to 8:00 am which is an earlier starting time, and with Kieth Merrill and Steven Smoot speaking, you don't want to sleep in and miss this!  We have also extended the conference into the evening as well, ending at 9:30 pm for those who can stay.

Artwork and Educational Materials will be on display and available for purchase between the conference sessions.
 
Artifacts will be displayed as they are unveiled according to the itinerary.
