Roundtable Pre-Conference
Thursday April 25th – By Invitation Only
The CAPITALYZE conference will celebrate the impact of collaborative outreach through city-wide movements in Ottawa, across Canada and internationally.
Modeled on similar conferences around the world, CAPITALYZE seeks to inspire transformation in our cities by breaking down traditional barriers and encouraging collaboration and cross-pollination across denominational lines. It will bring together leaders from congregations, ministries, not-for-profits and the marketplace to be inspired and activated together.
Thursday
On Thursday Jan. 17th of the CAPITALYZE conference leaders and teams from city-reaching teams in Ottawa and across Canada will gather in a pre-conference roundtable to grow together. This is a “by invitation” event.
The pre-conference Roundtable will be a more intimate opportunity for attendees to learn from our five international speakers, and interact with other Canadian practitioners in the city transformation movement.
The Roundtable will be hosted by ****.
Friday & Saturday
Friday and Saturday the larger conference will continue with amazing local and international speakers, inspiring workshops, and opportunities for new connections. Collaboration opportunities will engage and encourage participants to connect to take city-wide efforts to the next level for even greater Kingdom impact. Included is a special Friday evening city-wide worship celebration of God’s work in city.
Please take the time to read about our international guests, Kevin Palau, Roger Sutton, Stephen Sutton, Gary Schmitz and Mark Visvasam Nannan on the home page.
