[edit] History
The annual Colour Conference was birthed out of Bobbie Houston's vision to see a generation of women empowered. The first conference was held in 1997, and since then has grown at a phenomenal rate. From the early 2000s, the conference was stretched to two conferences and then up to three conferences in 2005 and 2006 as Hillsong Church buildings could not contain the growth. In 2007, the conference was held for the first time in the Acer Arena, where over 14,000 women gathered.
