Merch pre-orders will be open until November 30, 2026!

Good things take time and this year's shirt design is still being perfected by the talented Natalia Eristavi.  However, we wanted to show off this year's merch colors and open pre-orders with registration for those that already know they want a shirt or hoodie.  Once this year's design is ready to go we'll update the merch photos here and on our website.  You can find larger photos and sizing information here.

We will have a limited amount of merch available for sale in person at the Lindy Focus Registration Desk, however the best way to ensure you get the merch you want is to pre-order.

The idea of sharing a meal with our community is old, but offering it onsite at Lindy Focus is new.  This year on NYE, we are pleased to invite you to join us for dinner in Expo center.  You can stay in the hotel, get ready a bit early, enjoy a fully catered meal to the live sounds of Taryn Newborne, and gain early access to the photobooth. 

Dinner in Expo is an experiment this year, and we are limiting seats at the table so that we can keep the experience intimate and intentional. This is an extra add on for folks who want it, and is not included in base registration, so be sure to grab your ticket while they last!

Dinner will include salad, entrée, desert, and 1 drink ticket.  Entrée selection must be made at time of purchase.  Any guests under 21 will be limited to non-alcoholic drink choices.  Price includes all gratuities and local taxes.  Full menu details can be found here.
