January 7th & 8th 2022

Where?

Sevierville Convention Center – Sevierville, Tennessee 37876

Limited Seating.
Last year we sold out within a few weeks and we have even more interest this year so if you want to be sure you get a spot you will want to reserve your ticket as soon as possible.

What is included and how much does it cost?

Your ticket includes both Friday and Saturday with 5+ sessions per day and round table question and answer time! Speakers are Bob Binnie, Ian Steppler, Kamon Reynolds, Kent Williams, Rick Sutton, Greg Rogers and more. Speaker topics and itinerary will be upcoming.

Other special guests include: Randy McCaffrey – “628 Dirt Rooster”, Fredrick Dunn, Jeff Horchoff – “Mr Ed”, Natalee from “Beekeeping Like a Girl”, and more.

A full catered lunch is included both days!
Coffee and doughnuts will be provided both mornings!
No outside food or beverages are permitted inside the building (convention centers rule not ours) but there are several water fountains and the venue will have concessions available in the afternoon for purchase as well 3 restaurants within walking distance.

All inclusive tickets for both days are $180 if paid by check.
We are only accepting payment by check at this time.
If you don’t have paper checks your bank should be able to mail one for you.


We will also have special conference pricing from Kelley Beekeeping, Dadant, Apimaye, Hill Co Beekeeping, Premier Foundation, Lorob Bees Vaporizers, The Hive Butler, and several more!

If you have a vendor or product you want to see there tell them to email us at Hivelifeconference@gmail.com 

(We will be messaging you in the future on preorder deals that the companies offer and the “at conference deals”) 

Can my whole family come?
The conference is for Adults and children 10 years & older only. BUT there is an indoor water park at the attached hotel and many other attractions (info on discounted attraction tickets below) and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park nearby so if you do want to bring your family there are tons of fun things for them to do in the area.

What Airport is closest?

If you are flying, the McGhee Tyson airport in Alcoa (just outside of Knoxville, TN) is the closest airport.

Where can I stay?
There are many options near the convention center. Below are some options that are discounted for the event. There is a hotel attached to the convention center that we are working with to get discounted rates but since it is a resort (with an indoor waterpark) it will likely still be over $100 per night and we will let attendees know the details in an upcoming Email.

Conference discounted rate for “The resort at Governors Crossing” (5 miles away) available online here:

Starting at $80.67 per night. (Indoor water park area included in cost)

Another option is the Sleep Inn (3.8 miles away). Just let them know when you call that you are with the Hive Life conference and ask for the discounted rate for those dates. Approximately $60 per night with tax depending on what night(s) you stay and your room choice.
