Weather & What to Pack
March weather in Texas can vary, so check the Navasota forecast before you travel. Business-casual clothing, a light jacket, and comfortable shoes will serve you well for conference sessions; if you plan to explore Camp Allen’s trails, pack walking or hiking shoes, too.
Remember: All meals are included with all tickets. Hotel rooms are included with your registration unless you are commuting and choose the conference-only package.
All you have to do is get here. We’ve taken care of the rest!
