You plan to watch every session...

A parent watching a conference session during soccer practice

You really do.
But then soccer practice runs late.
Your toddler skips a nap.
Dinner takes longer than expected.
Someone gets sick.
Life happens.

Dr. Laura Markham

What Parents Are Saying

“I know there’s no way I’ll be able to watch every session during the conference. Between work, school, and my kids’ activities, VIP was an easy decision because I can watch everything when I actually have time.”

Susan L.

“I bought VIP because three days is simply not enough time for me to absorb everything. I want to take my time, take notes, and be able to watch again as my kids start engaging with new kinds of technology.”

Priya D.

“I’m loving it. I’ve watched four videos, and learned so many new things. Now it’s time to apply it.”

Lauren T.

“I almost didn't buy the VIP Pass, but I’m so glad I did. I got it during the Early Bird sale, and after just a couple of sessions, I knew it was worth every penny.”

Sarah M., mom of 3

“The audio recordings are my favorite part. I listen while I’m driving or doing chores. With five boys and sports almost every night, there’s no way I could watch the whole conference live.”

Linda K., mom of 5 boys

“I missed getting the VIP Pass at Dr. Laura’s 2024 summit, and I regretted it. This year I signed up early. I trust her guidance completely.”

Jennifer L.

VIP Early Bird Pass is $39 until the Conference begins, when the price goes up to $79.

Upgrade to VIP

HAVE QUESTIONS?

Here’s everything you need to know about upgrading to the VIP Pass and accessing the conference on your own schedule.

About the VIP Pass

What’s the difference between the free ticket and the VIP Pass?

The free ticket gives you access to each day’s interviews for 24 hours after they’re released during the conference.

The VIP Pass gives you immediate access to the entire conference library for 12 months. It also includes downloadable audio, full transcripts, the Conference Action Workbook, and Dr. Laura’s Digital Apprenticeship Guide.

How long will I have access if I upgrade?

You’ll have access to the complete VIP conference library for 12 months. That gives you plenty of time to watch the interviews, revisit your favorites, and return as new questions come up.

Will I get access immediately?

Yes. Once you upgrade, you’ll receive instructions for accessing your VIP materials so you can start exploring the sessions and bonuses right away.

What exactly is included with the VIP Pass?

Your VIP Pass includes all conference interview recordings, 12 months of access, downloadable audio for every interview, full transcripts, the Conference Action Workbook, and Dr. Laura’s Digital Apprenticeship Guide.

Pricing & Upgrading

How much is the regular VIP price?

The regular price of the VIP Pass is $79. During the Early Bird offer, you can upgrade for just $39 and save $40.

When does the Early Bird price end?

The countdown timer on this page shows exactly how much time is left to receive the $39 Early Bird price. Once the timer reaches zero, the VIP Pass will increase to its regular price of $79.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes, you can upgrade later while VIP registration remains open. However, the $39 Early Bird price is available only for a limited time. If you wait until after the Early Bird offer ends, the price will increase to $79.

Is the VIP Pass a subscription?

No. The VIP Pass is a one-time purchase. There are no recurring monthly charges.

I already registered for free. Can I still upgrade?

Absolutely. You can upgrade while VIP registration is open. For the simplest access experience, use the same email address you used for your free conference registration.

Watching the Conference

If I don’t upgrade, will I still be able to watch all the sessions?

Your free ticket gives you the opportunity to watch every conference session, but each day’s interviews are available for only 24 hours after they’re released.

To watch them all with a free ticket, you’ll need to follow the conference schedule. The VIP Pass removes that time pressure and lets you watch everything at your own pace for 12 months.

Do I need to watch the interviews at a specific time?

Not with the VIP Pass. You can watch the interviews whenever it works for you and return to them as often as you’d like during your 12 months of access.

Can I watch on my phone or tablet?

Yes. You can access the VIP conference materials from a computer, tablet, or smartphone with an internet connection.

Can I download the conference materials?

The video interviews are available to stream from your VIP library. You’ll also receive downloadable audio, transcripts, the Conference Action Workbook, the Digital Apprenticeship Guide, and available speaker bonuses.

What if I miss part of the conference?

That’s exactly what the VIP Pass is designed for. You won’t need to worry about missing a session or fitting everything into three busy conference days. Your complete VIP library will be available for 12 months.
