The worship conference designed
for the entire creative team.

Workshop Description: There are a lot of topics that never get discussed in conference settings, so we called a few different church leaders to discuss the unspoken. We’ll talk about if you should pay musicians, how to run an audition, what the rehearsal process looks like and how to keep consistency with a variety of skill on your team. The churches represented are all from Nashville and you may be surprised by some of their differences!

Time & Place: Workshop Session B – Student Center 1
Panel Members: Andrew Holt (The Belonging Co.), Sarah Bible (Church of the City), Mike Grayson (Crosspoint.tv) & Andy Williams (Long Hollow Baptist Church).
Moderator: Adam Stone (SALT Conferences)

Workshop Description: In audio, the output is always a reflection of your input. So lets make sure to input the right sound by choosing the right microphone. Come learn from Doug Gould, a veteran audio professional who worked for the leading microphone manufacturer for over a decade, and now spends his time investing in churches all across the world. This will be a beginner friendly class and for those who want to dive deeper into microphone technology.

Workshop Description: Your lyric presentation is a vital part of your worship service, but sometimes we aren’t presenting to the best of our ability or with excellence. This workshop will skip the design and color theory, jumping right into making you and your team more efficient, better organized, and confidently prepared for your services (and save you time!). Everyone will find the information beneficial, no matter what software or hardware you prefer to use.

Workshop Description: What does it take to get your church’s original worship songs out there in the world? How do you upload music to Spotify or iTunes? What about Amazon or other online platforms? Wisdom Moon will walk you through the core pieces in the world of music publishing and help you understand the CCLI process, royalties for your musicians, and getting music out there on the leading platforms.

Workshop Description: How do you get a great mix without a great budget? There’s absolutely a way. In this class we’ll use the Behringer X32 as a way to teach you and your volunteers how to get a great mix regardless of your gear. From pre-amps to bussing, compression to automix, and everything in between, you’ll leave this class with practical tasks to improve your mix, no matter what sound equipment you own.

Speaker: Timmy Wagoner
Key Topics: Audio/Sound

Workshop Description: It’s an odd thing to work in the church because our work and worship are often confused as the same. In this class, we’ll look to scripture to be the guide on how to keep a healthy balance between these things. Failure to do so can tragically cause our work to turn into a golden calf. Your work can (and should) be an act of worship, but it’s unhealthy when your work steals your ability to worship.

Time & Place: Workshop Session E – Student Center 2
Speaker: Joel Muddamalle

Workshop Description: A great way to get a more consistent and full sound from your worship band is to use tracks or loops. In this class, we’ll see the impact of incorporating loops, as well as the process and technology behind how to play with them, rehearse with them, and even make new tracks.
