A One-of-a-Kind Conference
Designed specifically for Latter-day Saints, our conference is unique in that it instructs in both the spiritual and the technical sides of creativity.
“The sessions I attended strengthened my spirit,” reported a 2021 attendee. “They elevated my vision.”
“I appreciated the reminder that I have a responsibility to represent my standards in what I write,” said another.
Our conference also focuses on teaching creators how to distribute their works, with over a dozen sessions on the publishing and marketing process. Representatives from Deseret Book, Shadow Mountain, Cedar Fort, and several other publishing companies will come to hear book pitches.
With over 80 sessions and workshops, our conference has something for every creative niche. Are you a writer? Artist? Songwriter? Filmmaker? We have something for you!
When and Where
Our conference begins virtually, with 25 online classes held throughout September and October.
We then convene the main conference on October 20–22 at the BYU Conference Center, just across the street from the Provo Missionary Training Center. These three days are packed with 4 keynote addresses, 11 deep-dive workshops, 42 breakout sessions, delicious catered meals, and an awards gala.
After the conference, session recordings are available for the next three months.
Can’t come to Provo? For a reduced price, you can register for the 25 online classes and gain access to all the session recordings.
