Illuminate Conference
BULK TICKETS FOR SCHOOLS, CHURCHES
Southern Adventist University is proud to host the annual Illuminate Arts + Faith
Conference on its campus in Collegedale, Tennessee, each year. Individual guests who
travel in from around the Southeast for two days of presentations, performances, and
hands-on workshops are joined by groups of educators and faith leaders representing
several area schools and churches who purchase discounted bulk tickets for their teams
at $150/guest; $50 off the standard $200/guest rate. A sample of those includes:
Bryan College, Covenant College, Chattanooga Christian School, Silverdale Baptist Academy, and The Mission Chattanooga.
In fact, one local K-12 school sent 16 fine arts and English faculty to the conference in 2026!
Illuminate is a wonderful team-building and professional development opportunity. If you're considering registering a group from your organization to attend but would like to speak with someone from one of the above schools or churches about their experience, email illuminate@southern.edu and we will share their contact information.
