Conventions and Conference Planning

Conventions and Conference Planning facilitates all conferences and conventions that take place periodially within the Antiochian Archdiocese. To serve those who organize and plan these conferences, the department publishes planning manuals and timelines for both the archdiocesan convention and diocesan conferences. These are available for download on this departmental web page and cover all aspects of conference planning, from the bidding process to the final report. The logo for upcoming archdiocesan conferences is also available for downloading each year as the conference approaches. Please see below for a schedule of diocesan Parish Life Conferences for the current year.
