If each of us can become more effective as not only a technical artist, but also as a Christ follower, we can help our churches become more effective at accomplishing their mission. Bring your team to experience community with other technical artists from around the world to learn new skills and to be reminded that what you do matters. Being first in and last out isn’t for everyone, but for those of us who live and breathe it, the FILO Conference is the perfect place to feel connected to people who get you and want to see you succeed in this noble calling of FILO.
Our desire at FILO is to provide all church technical artists with the opportunity to be developed through the Conference. Special pricing is available for students, streaming groups of 25+ and churches that have struggled due to the Covid-19 pandemic and are in financial hardship.
Please contact the FILO team at hello@filo.org.
Learn new skills from people who are doing church production at a high level. These aren’t just classes in the theory of what we do, these are based on practical, week-in and week-out working in the local church from the people who are doing it, just like you.
Details subject to change.
We are thrilled to host several VIP and Special Events during the conference that are designed to give you an extended opportunity to spend more time in community. Learn more and add on one of these awesome events to your existing conference registration!
The South Barrington Campus of Willow Creek Community Church has been an ideal place for FILO to grow and expand over the last few years. We are thrilled to be back for another year!

After the Gurus of Tech conferences came to an end, there was no other event that was laser-focused on the technical artist in the local church. Todd Elliott, the former Technical Arts Director at Willow Creek Community Church, rounded up a team of people to help fill the void and bring you the First In Last Out Conference.
Anyone involved in technology in his or her local church. Audio or lighting, staff or volunteer, beginner or expert, everyone is encouraged to attend. There will be something for everyone. While technical artists are the focus of FILO, worship pastors, music directors, lead pastors, creative directors or anyone who works with technical artists is more than welcome to attend.
Your registration helps us produce an event worth coming to! We bring in top-notch faculty, who are veterans at getting their hands dirty in the nitty-gritty of production life. Our goal is to create an experience that will refresh and inspire those who come!
It will be both! Join us in person at Willow Creek in South Barrington, IL, or join us online.
