Speakers

Stay tuned for more speaker announcements! Our speakers represent a wide range of industries, geographies and areas of expertise, but they all share two critical characteristics. First, each of them are dedicated to experiencing God at work. Second, they are actively looking for opportunities to join God wherever they see Him at work. These aren’t theorists. They are practitioners doing their best to live out the sacredness of their work every day just like you.
