REDISCOVER MOMENTS OF INSPIRATION

Looking for fresh ideas? The Arts Conference is a great place to find them. Our Main Sessions, Featured Breakouts, Learning Expo, and Skill Based Breakouts contain a wealth of creative knowledge and inspiration that will leave you replenished in mind and spirit. We've all experienced how ideas build on each other; these are great opportunities to put yourself in an idea-rich environment that will expand your creative repertoire.

The Learning Expo is a great place to get ideas, especially for technical artists and musicians. Vendors like Clear-Com, Sensaphonics, DPA, and Gepco will have their latest products to show you, giving you a chance to learn from the people that know this equipment inside and out. Come to open your eyes to lots of possibilities of how to use the latest technology to craft worship experiences that connect people's hearts and minds with God.

Just seeing what other churches do and how other artists express themselves can free your mind in amazing ways, unlocking new possibilities for your services. Beyond what you'll see in the main sessions, you can check out the Creativity in Action breakouts on Thursday. These breakouts offer you the chance to glean ideas from some unique churches from around the country, including The Journey Church in NYC, Willow Creek Community Church, and Granger Community Church in Granger, IN.

Another place to get ideas is from the Film Festival on Thursday night. Check out some of the best offerings in film and video by church ministries around the country—an opportunity for both inspiration and entertainment. You'll leave affirmed by the quality of artistic work being created by and for the church, and brimming with new ideas for your own artistic efforts. There's no additional charge for this event that will take place at the Willow Creek campus.
