Annual Conference Location Preference Survey

The Network of Biblical Storytellers' Annual Conference has taken place at the Maritime Conference Center (MCC) in Baltimore, Maryland for the past four years. During that time frame, we have scheduled the Conference for the first week in August. In 2026, the Conference will be held July . This change was made because the MCC was not available for the dates we had planned to schedule (first week in August). Going forward, if we stay at the MCC, the first week in August will not be available for us. 
Should we move the Conference in 2027? 
If we make a location change, will that affect your attendance? 
What venue features are important to you?
These, and other questions, are in this survey. It's important for us to know what is relevant to our members for Annual Conference attendance. Please respond to this brief survey so that we can make the best decision for future Conferences.
