What is an interest session?
An interest session is a 50 or 100-minute (over two sessions) workshop presented during the Worship & Music Conference.
To consider before applying:
- Applications are for a single-session workshop of 50 minutes or 100-minutes over two days.
- The workshop topic is your choice. Broad areas of possibility might include worship planning, hymnody, justice, liturgical year, instrumental or choral topics, and many more. The 2024 planning team is seeking at least one presenter who specializes in the aging voice and has recognized experience directing excellent church choirs.
- Applications for remote workshops (Zoom) are accepted.
- Applications may be made for week 1, week 2, or for both.
