The conference will feature speakers such as Mike Pilavachi of Soul Survivor, David Ruis, Malcom du Plessis and Rick Cua as well as noted worship leaders Chris Tomlin, Charlie Hall, Tim Hughes, DJ Andy Hunter°, Rita Springer and many more. Also included are five training tracks that focus on: Foundational Worship Issues; Worship Leaders and Pastors; Songs and Songwriting; Worship Bands; and Technology.
