Why a Catholic Creator Conference?

The Church calls us to evangelize, to bring the Gospel to all nations. According to Pope Benedict XVI, this includes the new "Digital Continent" we all inhabit.

Through our content, we have the opportunity to reach the entire world, bringing them the Truth of Jesus Christ and His Church. Far from leaving people orphaned and isolated, it's our role to work together to bring people to Him.

Whether your focus is content that is specifically Catholic, or you're a Catholic whose content reaches a broader audience (while still being a witness to the faith), this conference is for you. We have an opportunity to build one another up, to partner together, and to increase the impact of all our efforts.

We do it all for Our Lord Jesus Christ, and Our Lady.

What have past attendees said?

Hear from the creators who attended previous conferences!

Matt Fradd - "Pints With Aquinas"

It was such an honor to speak at this conference last summer! This focus on incarnational relationships is absolutely vital when operating within the digital sphere. Seeing all sorts of Catholic Creators forging real friendships was inspirational and makes me optimistic for the future. Any creator looking to advance the Kingdom with their online work should absolutely attend this conference.

MrsRuvi - "Is This For Kids?"

I have been to a lot of media conferences and none have had the impact of the Catholic Creator Conference. The heart for the Lord is evident with an emphasis on prayer and creator community as well as content creation. The presenters were helpful in honing the mission of “Is This For Kids?” and really helped us to see how we can use our platform to serve Christ. And while that content piece is super important, the community and collaboration that was built during the conference is the real thing that set it apart.

Dom Dalmasso - "The Logos Project"

The Catholic Creator Conference was a rather explosive breath of fresh air, long in coming, which brought together in real time and space evangelists on fire with Christ and his Church. The interactions and collaborations which took place at the conference have had a seismic impact on the purpose of my ministry at The Logos Project and on the Catholic internet sphere in general. This needs to keep happening.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this for?

This conference is for Content Creators whose Catholic faith informs & shapes their content. You might make content that is directly Catholic, or perhaps you occupy a different niche but still let your faith guide and shape your message. This conference aims to connect fellow creators, build strong friendships, and increase the impact of our mutual efforts in the digital sphere.

Do I have enough followers to apply?

Strictly speaking, your follower account has nothing to do with whether or not your application is approved. It's valuable to us to have creators of varying sizes attend. Our main priority is ensuring a valuable experience for all attendees, regardless of platform size. If you are Catholic, and you make content, then you may apply.

What if I haven't started making content yet?

Unfortunately, this conference is for people who are already creators. To ensure the attendees are all experiencing fraternity, and gaining value from the conference, this conference is only open to people who have made a real, consistent effort in publishing content.

If you have not published any content before December 1st, 2024; your application will not be considered. We do encourage you to start, and make your first video (course, painting, live album, whatever it is), and consider re-applying next time around. The biggest hang up for many of us was getting started. Even if your first year or two of content is not great, it's valuable to start now so you can gain experience and learn from the process.

Why is there an application?

Our mission is to build fraternity among creators, and increase our mutual efforts of evangelism in the digital sphere. To ensure we can foster a sense of charity and fraternity, we've chosen to manually review all applicants.

Additionally, we do have some venue constraints that put a relatively small cap on the number of attendees. This is another reason we have an application process, as it allows us to cultivate a healthy mix of creators based on niche, platform, etc... We feel this is better than a "first come first serve" approach with buying tickets.
