Attending the Q Conference Is More Important Than Ever

Our culture is in a desperate place. 34% of our youngest adults deny any interest in religion (Pew 2012). The Christian faith is losing ground as a credible option for the spiritually curious. For too long, the church has emphasized what’s wrong with culture. The Q Conference curates a forward-looking conversation that celebrates what’s right, imagines what’s possible and educates Christians on how they are meant to play a central in God’s work to renew all things.

Who attends the Q Conference

In 2013, hundreds of remarkable leaders will meet in Los Angeles to collaborate around the biggest questions facing the church today. Innovators, church leaders, social entrepreneurs, cultural pioneers and the concerned faithful will come together to explore answers how to advance the common good in an increasingly secular society.

Q is not for spectators. This movement is for leaders of thought, community and action who will drive this conversation forward.

We're asking you to consider joining us.

More about Q

Q is a place for Christian leaders from every channel of society to become informed by and influential in the lives of one another. No other gathering exists that attracts the most influential leaders of the church and today’s most innovative thinkers into one space for conversation, learning, invention, and collaboration.

Over the course of three days, Q introduces participants to myriad topics presented by over fifty experts. Their ideas have been selected to heighten our awareness and challenge our creativity as we consider our roles, individually and corporately, in shaping culture.

The Place for Questions

The format of Q is designed to expose leaders to the fundamental culture, social, and environmental shifts taking place in our world day. Presentations are short and powerful. Practical application isn’t always included; instead, ideas are presented that allow participants to collaborate with others about what this means for the future of their vocation and their local church.

Q makes no apologies for providing an intense experience meant to expose, engage, shock, and deepen your awareness of current realities and opportunities. Exposure is the beginning of understanding. And understanding allows us to re-imagine how the gospel can be re-expressed in our own contexts – forever changing the landscape of our communities and cities.
 
Can I get a schedule for the event?
Q will begin at 9:00 am on Monday, April 15th and conclude at 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 17th. We will not be making a schedule for the event public until you arrive at Q. Lunch will occur around 12:30 p.m. each day and dinner will occur around 5:30 p.m. Please assume all other times will be filled with programming and collaboration. All times are tentative and subject to change.

Will participants have the opportunity to interact with the presenters?
Yes, most of our presenters join us as learners as well. Some can only be with us for their presentation, but many will be available for a Talkback discussion, which is intentionally smaller and more conducive for question and answer.

Is food included in the price?
Food is not included in the price. There are numerous restaurants in the L.A. Live complex and we highly encourage this time to be used for meeting new friends and continuing the conversations and collaborations taking place inside the venue.

Who comes to Q?
As we shape all of the details and features of this unique gathering, we take into consideration who will be filling the seats and how, collectively, we can introduce and discuss ideas that advance the common good both nationally and within your local context. There are a few key characteristics we believe all of our participants possess; First, a desire to be informed and exposed to current culture and the conversations shaping our public discourse. Second, the desire to be restorers, faithfully bringing the love and creativity infused by the Gospel in whatever occupation they hold. And thirdly, they hold the view that it’s a Christian responsibility to renew culture and promote human flourishing for all people in our society.

Do I have to fill out information for all of the attendees in my group?
Yes. We like to personalize as much of Q as possible which requires as much accurate information about attendees as possible. We need to have all attendee information input by January 31 to make the experience most personalized for your group’s experience.

Is there a need for volunteers at Q?
Yes, Q is dependent on a group of volunteers who are most interested in serving alongside the Q team in order to make the gathering a reality. Due to the nature of Q and working behind the scenes to ensure a quality gathering, we can’t guarantee much participation in the actual programming of Q, and, in turn, only look for those who are truly interested and willing to serve in making Q as excellent as possible.

If volunteering at Q interests you, please contact us.

What is your cancellation policy?

Do I provide my own transportation to and from the event?
Yes. Each participant is responsible for his or her own transportation to Los Angeles and to the event venue each day. We recommend lodging at one of our recommended hotels right next to the venue so you can walk to the event and local restaurants easily.
