Conference Events and Highlights
Workshop Day
Workshop Day begins Wednesday morning and marks the start of the conference. These extended sessions offer practical learning, hands-on application, and meaningful connection with others serving in technology and mission. Participants select one of four all-day workshop options during registration.
Keynote Speaker
Yvonne Carlson is this year’s keynote speaker, and her topic is Spirit-Led Intelligence.
Breakout Sessions
Throughout the conference we offer breakout sessions in several tracks, each track meeting in a different room. The tracks and their sessions are decided as we get closer to the conference date, but here are some of the tracks we’ve had in the past.
- Artificial Intelligence

- Leadership
- Linux
- Security
- Spiritual
- System Admin
- Windows
We are always looking for breakout session leaders. If you have a topic you would like to speak about, let us know here.
Unconference Presentations
One evening, we will host Unconference Presentations, a series of short, attendee-led 15 minute sessions where anyone can introduce a topic, share an idea, or invite discussion in an informal, interactive setting.
Tech for Missions Updates (TFM)
As part of Unconference Presentations, we invite you to share stories from the past year about using technology for God’s Kingdom, including not only successes, but also challenges and lessons learned.
BOFs (Birds of a Feather Sessions)
There are many topics we could explore during our time together, but not all can be scheduled as breakout sessions. BOF sessions bring together people with shared interests to discuss topics proposed and voted on during the conference.
Prayer Pals
The attendees will be assigned to small groups, and at various times, these groups will gather to encourage and pray for one another.
Typical Day
Here’s an overview of the typical day of conference:
- Group gatherings with worship and devotions in the mornings.
- Prayer Pal times for personal connection, encouragement, and prayer.
- Keynote or larger plenary talks focusing on technology, mission focus, or community building.
- Multiple breakout sessions where participants share skills, ideas, and technical insights.
- Various special events happen every evening.
