We are finally gathering again for Y&F Conference! Y&F Conference is for all high-school-aged students and is led by our youth pastors & staff alongside our incredible volunteer team. Located in the Hub Building at the Hills Campus, it runs parallel to Hillsong Conference during both Conference 1 and Conference 2. The days consist out of sessions with amazing speakers, heaven-touching worship, exciting breakout sessions, tribal challenges, time to hang with friends and so much more!

Please pick up your pass on the first day of Conference. The pass pick up will take place in the Western Foyer from 2pm at Conference Day 1. Once the pass has been picked up, the student can walk into Y&F Conference. The code on the pass is used for checking in and checking out to help us keep all students safe. If the pass has been lost, please contact our friendly team at the help desk.

It is our heart that every young person shares in the greatest experience possible at Y&F Conference and also has the chance to connect with other young people. We have small group leaders who help to look out for anyone who may be by themselves. If you already know that your teenager would like to join a group for Y&F Conference, you can email us at [email protected] with your young person’s school year and we can help them get connected from the outset of Y&F Conference.

We have four coloured tribes: Yellow, Green, Blue and Red. Tribes are like teams that are made up of a whole lot of small groups. Each small group has a leader (who is over the age of 18). Tribes are generally decked out in their colour & chant for their team competitors throughout tribal challenges. Tribes are a way to help a big conference feel like everyone has a place – they help create ‘family’ / ‘belonging’. If a teenager is not allocated to a specific tribe already, they are welcome to choose whichever colour they wish.

Students are welcome to sit wherever they like & can choose to be with their friends during our lunch breaks, hang time & during the sessions. During Tribal Challenges we encourage students to sit in their tribal area to allow them to absorb the fullness of the experience, however, there are no specific rules around this.

Remember to bring your Bible, notebook, morning tea, lunch, water bottle, jumper/jacket. Optional spending money can be used at food trucks inside Y&F during morning tea & lunch breaks, and can be used to purchase Y&F Conference merchandise. Do not bring items on the prohibited items list, and bag searches may be conducted to enter Y&F Conference gates.

Y&F Conference will have both paid & volunteer security, as well as paid paramedics and pastoral care on-site for the entire duration of the event.
