In The MKING™️
Details continue to be announced for the new AFCI consumer event called In the MKNG™️ that will take place in Bethel Woods, NY on September 29th-30th, 2018.
Today, AFCI announced the event's headlining musical act. Sister Hazel is known to most music fans for their 1997 rock hit "All for You". The band is touring to promote their latest album, Lighter In The Dark, which is their first country album and features a collaboration track with Darius Rucker. Other musical acts confirmed for the festival include CMA artist Lauren Davidson, pop/rock band Wild Planes, alternative rock band Don't Believe In Ghosts, and singer-songwriter Zach Matari.
Tickets for In the MKNG™️ will be available starting on June 1st. Click here to learn more!
Creativation
It's hard to believe it's already that time again but badge registration opens for Creativation 2019 on June 12th!
In addition to the impending opening of badge registration, hotel reservations are already open through the official AFCI portal for Creativation. This year, AFCI has a new hotel provider, Hotels for Hope. This new AFCI partner is a travel agent with a charitable twist - for every room booked through the AFCI reservation portal, a $2 donation will be made to AFCI's selected charity.
Through Hotels for Hope, AFCI is now able to offer reservations for more (and more affordable) hotels closer to the Phoenix Convention Center than in past years. Book early to get your best choice of rooms!
