Filo Chicago

The FILO Conference, held at Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, serves as a vital gathering for Church Technical Artists across the United States. This annual event, crafted by and for technical artists, offers an immersive experience focused on learning, spiritual growth, and community building. Attendees have the opportunity to engage in a variety of breakout sessions led by industry experts, as well as main sessions designed to speak directly to the needs and experiences of those in technical roles within the church. Participants can expect to step away from their production duties and enjoy meaningful worship, along with the chance to recharge for their upcoming ministry seasons.Since its inception in 2014 by Todd Elliott, the FILO Conference has grown into a key event for individuals involved in church production, from audio and lighting professionals to worship pastors and creative directors. The conference emphasizes the importance of community, providing a space for attendees to connect and share their unique challenges and joys in the world of church tech. Testimonials from past attendees highlight the conference as a source of inspiration, encouragement, and practical knowledge, ensuring that participants return to their churches equipped and motivated. With a focus on both professional development and spiritual enrichment, FILO has become a cherished tradition for many, reinforcing the importance of collaboration and excellence in the execution of church missions. The FILO Conference is not only an event for technical artists; it welcomes anyone involved in church production, fostering an inclusive atmosphere conducive to growth and fellowship.
