2024 Forma Conference Workshops
2024 Forma Annual Conference Workshop Proposals
The 2024 Annual Forma Conference will take place January 22-25, 204 online with Watch Retreats available for those who wish to gather onsite. Our theme, "Way in the Wilderness," comes from Isaiah 43:19, "I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth; do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."
2024 Workshop Slate Goals
-To offer a slate of twenty workshops for the 2024 Forma Conference
-To offer a workshop slate that is diverse in terms of presenter’s identities (BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, clergy/lay, geography, etc.), ministry context (parish, diocese, school, age group, etc.), and content (age specific ministry, intergenerational, worship, justice, faith at home, etc.)
-To offer a workshop slate that provides practical resources, inspiration, tools, and ideas to our audience

Pre-Recording Workshops
Due to the structure of this years conference (online with Watch Retreats) all workshops must be pre-recorded. Our hope is that the recording will be a back up and all workshops will be presented live on Zoom for maximum engagement. You may also choose to show your pre-recorded workshop and join live for Q&A. In order to make sure all workshop recordings are uploaded in time and similar in format, our Conference Planning Team will schedule a time to meet with presenters on Zoom to pre-record.
