The Hillsong Church is inviting people from all over the world to attend its most anticipated event every year. In 2018, there will be three massive events to be staged in Australia, England and the United States.

The first Hillsong Conference will be staged in its place of origin, Sydney, Australia, from July 10 to July 13, 2018, at the Qudos Bank Arena. The second conference will be held at the 02 Arena in London, United Kingdom, from July 25 to 27, 2018. The event in the United States will take place at Barclays Center in New York from Aug. 1 to 3, 2018.

The main theme of the 2018 conference is "Championing the Cause of Local Churches Everywhere."

All events will be hosted by world-renowned pastors Brian and Bobbie Houston. All conferences will feature separate happenings like the Kidsong program where children can perform, learn about the Bible, play games and reflect.

Brian and Bobbie's invitation mentions innovative leadership to be one of the highlights of the events.

"Guests, creativity and innovative leadership from within our own Hillsong house, will play their part in opening up 'new heights, horizons and heart' when it comes to all things Kingdom and cause," the invitation reads.

One of the most anticipated activities is the Masterclass, which will take place in Sydney. Masterclasses give individuals the opportunity to brainstorm and share innovative ideas to help the church and the people it serves.

Pastors Steven Furtick, Carl Lentz, Chris Hodges and John Gray will be guest speakers throughout the conferences.

Ticket are already on sale and people who register by Jan. 28, 2018 can save $50 AUD. There are additional fees for extra activities like Kidsong, Playgroup, and Young & Free.

Hillsong is also holding a contest to give people a chance to win free trips to the Hillsong Conference 2018 and receive a copy of Pastor Brian's new book "There Is More."

Other than the annual conference, Hillsong will also launch a separate event called the Colour Conference at the ICC Sydney theatre next year. There will be two conferences, the first one will be on March 15 to 17, 2018, and the second one from March 19 to 21, 2018.
