About the Virtual Option
Everyone who registers for the in-person conference in Portland, Maine will also get admission to the virtual conference on the first four Thursdays in May (May 2, 9, 16, and 23) free of any additional charges.

The virtual option is a great way to advance your professional development regardless of if you can attend in-person or not.  All of the workshops offered in-person will also be offered at the virtual conference and all of the virtual conference workshops will be available for asynchronous learning. These videos are exclusive to conference attendees! Each Thursday during the virtual conference, we will gather from 12:15 pm to 3 pm (Eastern Time). We will begin each day with a welcome gathering, followed by a block of four workshops, and concluding with a conference-wide gathering.

Hear from professionals inside and outside of the church on topics like utilizing artificial intelligence, leveling up on Canva, advanced social media best practices, and lots more. With 16 workshops in total, plus many opportunities to socialize and network with fellow communicators, and fun ways to connect and celebrate our 50th anniversary together, this year’s in-person and virtual conferences are sure to be the best yet.
