“It’s clear that the FILO team has a love for the church’s technical artists and a desire for their care, encouragement and development.”
“Worship was the thing that was most unexpectedly awesome and refreshing! I also loved the breakout sessions’ content and the community of the tech tribe!”
“It just keeps getting better and better. I look forward to bringing my team again next year, I cannot begin to put into words the impact this conference has on my team.”
“The main sessions were great!!! Felt as if the speakers were speaking just to me. FILO feels like a home away from home. Having attended for several years, I can say I feel richly rejuvenated and inspired when I leave.”
“Our team left excited about many of the things they learned and the camaraderie and relationship-building that happens when we get away for two days with several of our volunteers is invaluable.”
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!
