Your Event Info

The Type of Event(Required)

(Bible Conference, Men's Retreat, Pastor's conference, Sunday morning worship, etc.)

The number and length of times Don is to speak, the possible subjects, and the possible schedule.(Required)

If you have not already done so, it may be helpful to read the Conference Topics page on our website at this point. Obviously, some of these details may need to be discussed in future correspondence.

Will there be additional speakers at this event? If so, who?(Required)

Will there be music or other components included in the event?(Required)

If so, please describe. If this is a Sunday worship service, then obviously there will be other components. In a worship service, please arrange for Don to speak 45 to 50 minutes.

What is the range of anticipated attendance at this event?(Required)

If possible, please indicate briefly some of the general demographics of this group.

Have you read all the info on the Conference Topics and the Conference FAQ page?(Required)

Yes

Read the pages here: Conference Topics and the Conference FAQ.

Don's Travel

What airport should Don fly into and how far is it (timewise) from the event?(Required)

Note that we prefer to make reservations on our end. Nothing will be booked without prior consultation with you about schedule, etc. Then the itinerary/receipt will be immediately forwarded to you to begin processing reimbursement. Note also that reimbursement will be requested as soon as possible as in almost all cases the credit card charges for the tickets must be paid prior to the travel. If this is problematic for you, please mention that here.

Are you willing to reimburse unanticipated, but necessary, travel costs incurred by Don if travel to/from your event is affected by an occurrence of something such as an airline strike, national emergency, natural disaster, or inclement weather?(Required)

Yes

This would primarily involve food, housing, and transportation. In some cases, these could be more expensive than usual if hotel space, car rental availability, etc., were limited or the episode caused a prolonged delay in Don's travel.

Don's Books

Are you willing to have Don's books available at the event?(Required)

Through the bookstore on Don's website (which is often cheaper, especially for case orders).

Through your own book sources.

Thanks, but we will probably not be making any books available for this event.

What is the "dress code" for all parts of this event?(Required)

Unless directed otherwise, Don will wear a sport coat, slacks, and tie. for all Sunday worship services. If your event is casual, he will assume something like Dockers and a shirt with no tie. Please do not use the term "business casual" without describing what you mean. Some have specified casual and meant a sport coat and slacks, as opposed to a suit, while others meant jeans and a flannel shirt. Please be specific as to what is most appropriate for each part of your event. Detailed information is very useful, as customs and terms vary from place to place. Besides, it helps for Don to know how to pack only the clothes he'll need.

Why have you chosen to invite Don Whitney to your event?*(Required)

Miscellaneous information(Required)

Is there anything else that you want Don to know, such as comments related to some of the other links, facts about your group, etc.?

Please note: On very rare occasions this form fails to send. You will receive an error message if this occurs. To prepare for that possibility (and to keep you from losing your work), we recommend that you (1) highlight and copy the entire completed form, or (2) print it. That way, you can paste the info into a Word document and send it in an email to Info@BiblicalSpirituality.org. Or you could make a PDF of your printed form and email it, or send the printed form by snail-mail to Dr. Don Whitney, The Center for Biblical Spirituality, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, 5001 N. Oak Trafficway, Kansas City, MO 64118. Still another option is to print the blank form, fill it out by hand, and send that. We apologize in advance if this should happen to you. But we offer these suggestions because we value your time and invitation.
