Press Release: 26.06.06
National youth conference expands due to popular demand
The Audacious Conference, better known simply as Audacious, is the ultimate summer experience for young people ages 13-30. Its mission is to equip, empower and launch young people and adults into a fun and purpose filled life.
2006 has seen Audacious develop and expand. Due to popular demand, Audacious will be held over two weeks, allowing a greater number of delegates to join the experience.
The cities hosting this years event are Sheffield (31st July – 4th August) and Portsmouth (7th-11th August).
Audacious is expected to draw 3,000 full time delegates. A further 1,000 people are anticipated at the evening sessions, Audacious Nights, which are open to the general public.
Line up: Speakers at Audacious 2006 include Glyn Barrett (Audacious Director), Stuart Kier (London City Life Church) , Derek Smith (Kings Church Bolton), Sophia Barrett (Youth Alive UK), Dave Gilpin (Hope City Church) and Andy Elmes (Portsmouth Family Church).
Returning from the success of last year’s conference is Russell Evans, Founder and Director of Planet Shakers, Australia. Joining Russell at Audacious for the first time are Mike Guggliemucci and the Planet Shakers band.
The Planet Shakers band will be playing at Audacious as part of their world tour. Audacious is the only appearance Planet Shakers will make in the UK.
Glyn Barrett, Audacious Director, comments, ”We’re looking forward to having Russ and his team all the way from Australia.
Planet Shakers is a dynamic organisation who are changing the negative youth culture of today. Russ and Mike are both great public speakers. Many people will be shocked and challenged by the things they have to say.”
The Audacious band will, as always, provide the ultimate live music experience. The band are currently promoting the release of their second album, entitled Yeah!, which is scheduled for worldwide release at the Audacious Conference.
Activities at Audacious 2006 will include laser quest, swimming, football tournaments, and more.
