The TNT Youth Conference is a four-day event, generally at the beginning of June, celebrating young people’s involvement in the performing arts. The location changes each year, based on the availability of a local theatre host.  Individual students and adults, members of Youth Companies with their adult directors and chaperones - all are welcome to attend. Attendance numbers in the past few years have ranged from 275 to over 400. The official kickoff is on Thursday afternoon (rehearsals for performing companies begin on Wednesday) with performances in the evening. On Friday and Saturday mornings, students rotate among a series of workshops designed specifically for them. In the afternoons and evenings, there are more performances. On Sunday morning, there is an Awards Brunch, recognizing all of the performing companies and announcing the All Star Cast. Registration for the Youth Conference is open to anyone (you do not have to be a company member to register) and includes all workshops, social events, performances and the Sunday Brunch.

Young people from all across Texas who are interested in the performing arts - particularly theatre - come together to attend workshops ranging from Improvisation to Hip Hop, Stage Makeup to Audition Techniques. The students are broken up into similar age groups, then rotate among 6 workshops, each of which lasts about 1 hour. Workshop are taught by professional theatre artists.

Each year, the host company provides social events to encourage networking  and camaraderie among the young people in attendance. A pizza party, an ice cream social, a black-light dance, a karaoke night - whatever the hosts can imagine!
