WHAT IS CONCLAVE? CONCLAVE- “a meeting or coming together of people with common goals”

Annually, youth ministry leaders from across the country converge on the Chattanooga Convention Center for Youth Ministry Conclave.Youth Ministry Conclave is planned and organized by the eight Baptist Conventions of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The youth ministry leadership of these eight state conventions work together to create a dynamic event designed specifically for youth ministry pastors, leaders, and volunteers.

Conclave includes inspirational and encouraging corporate worship; practical training sessions led by top youth ministry leaders and practitioners; a huge exhibit hall packed with the latest resources and ministry partners; and many opportunities to network and establish new ministry relationships. All these activities, and more, serve to equip and rejuvenate a youth ministry team.

IN 2025, CONCLAVE WILL BE HELD
THURSDAY, JANUARY 23 – SATURDAY, JANUARY 25

AT THE INVITING CHATTANOOGA CONVENTION CENTER IN BEAUTIFUL CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE.

Attendees are promised-
| relevant training | powerful worship |honest conversations | and tons of valuable resources!

Why Should my Ministry/Organization Exhibit at Conclave?

Many exhibitors have expressed their enthusiasm for making Conclave apart of their annual events calendar. With an average attendance of 800 people, this youth ministry conference is a great way to network and advertise your business, company, or ministry. You will be able to engage in deeper conversations and develop more ongoing connections! 

Our exhibit hall is easily accessible for load-in and is conveniently located right outside the door to the main stage sessions and on the same hallway as our breakout sessions. In 2022, we reorganized our exhibit hall layout to great welcome and success. Also in 2024, our exhibit hall sold out so don’t delay in booking your spot.
