Details & Information
SALT is the creative conference for the church. Our purpose is to gather those in the creative, technical and communicative arts of the church, and identify how to leverage our creative gifts for the sake of the local church. If you are part of the team that makes Sunday happen week to week, or helps in the sharing of your church’s story online or throughout your community, then SALT Conference may be for you!
At SALT Conference, you’ll experience 3 days with main sessions, workshops, community groups, vendors, and more as you grow in your creative potential. In the main sessions we’ll have times of inspiration through worship and keynote speakers. The workshops include over 45 sessions of practical and philosophical topics designed to help solve ministry problems in engaging ways. Lastly, the community groups will provide a space where you can connect and engage with other creative and technical leaders from around the nation as you network, dream and connect with others in the SALT community.
SALT Conference is designed to inspire, equip and connect those who make Sunday happen and shape the external messages of the local church. We want to see creativity, art and technology used in powerful ways to reach our communities for the gospel.

- What workshops & speakers will be at SALT 2021?
Our team is working on putting together the best lineup of topics, speakers and worship leaders we’ve ever had. We just got confirmation on our venue in January, so we’re working hard to get this information pulled together. If you are not part of our email community, make sure to join our email list (first to find out) and follow us on social to get updates this spring as we add people.
Also, if you have a workshop topic you would like considered or a speaker request*, please feel free to email us at information@saltnashville.com. We would love to hear from you! (*we only consider speakers that have been requested by a 3rd person)

Great question! Due to Covid-19, in person gatherings have been regulated by the city and the church. That said, we are consistently monitoring our registration numbers and to make sure we stay compliant we plan to release tickets in batches of 150 at a time.
If you are unable to purchase a ticket in the first release of tickets there will be a waitlist available through our registration system. The registration system will require a credit card, to be placed on the waitlist, however, the card will not be charged until the next batch of tickets is released. The waitlist is first come, first served.
