The You Are You Conference (formerly the Young Adults Conference) invites you to embrace your authentic self and explore your passions. You Are You is a community where adults of all ages can embark on a shared journey of self-discovery in the context of a deeply caring, accepting, and fun-loving group. This conference is a great potential landing spot for former youth conferees, former Pelicans, and others seeking a fun and meaningful conference experience.

Our theme this year is Second Beginnings. Oftentimes in life we are faced with second (or even third, fourth or fifth) beginnings, whether by choice or not. The new beginnings can often feel nerve wracking, stressful, and invigorating all at the same time. As we embark upon our own Second Beginning as a conference in our first year as You Are You, we invite conferees new and old to join us in exploring this change.

Through workshops, interactive activities, thoughtful spiritual work, and simply being together as a community, we hope to work together as a conference to give ourselves and each other the tools to navigate these new beginnings and the questions that come with them.
