What is IGNITE?

IGNITE is the name of our conference and the inspiration behind what we do. We want to IGNITE a spirit within you to inspire what you do.

 

Is there a way that I can get to know people?

Yes! We have a newcomer reception on Thursday, January 31, just before the Opening Worship and Welcome Event. This is a chance for you to meet other people who are at the conference for the first time as well as some seasoned veterans who can help to answer any questions that you may have and offer tips for the best experience possible.

 

What professional benefits are there for me if I attend IGNITE?

If you are new to the field or have been doing it for years, IGNITE offers many opportunities for you to grow professionally. This conference will cover topics including renewable/annual giving, public relations, congregational communications, school administration, major giving, nonprofit leadership, planned giving, prospect research/development, marketing, and social media strategy, and there are numerous opportunities to network and share ideas with colleagues from around the country.

We organize the main conference events around your vocation, including outdoor ministries, retreat centers, youth ministries, higher education, seminaries, campus ministries, districts/synods, church bodies, financial services, K-12 schools, congregations, early childhood centers, foundations, consultants, arts/culture, social services, relief agencies, health care, and aging/senior living.
