What do people have to say about the FORM/REFORM Conference?
FORM/REFORM Conferences offer indispensable opportunities for pastors and parishioners to acquire the tools required in building new structures or renovating older facilities. These moments are preparation multipliers in the faith communities’ efforts to design and implement use of the sacred space.

FORM/REFORM is essential for the religious design community. It keeps me on the cutting edge of design and connected to other artists design professionals and crafts people. With each conference I find the understanding of my craft increased and my spirituality personally enriched.

As a parish volunteer with a background in interior design, the opportunity to attend a professional conference such as FORM/REFORM is both a privilege and a blessing for me personally. Networking and collaborating with outstanding artists, designers, fabricators, liturgists and other people of faith from around the world, opens the door to unknown potential. I believe that anyone involved in sacred liturgy, arts, or administration could not help but benefit from this remarkable experience. One leaves with the inspiration of “elevating the possibilities!”
