Short talks. Then you build.

Hopeful 2027 is two days of live workshops for people who lead churches, ministries, nonprofits and companies. Every short talk is followed by hands-on time with a coach beside you, working on your real problems.

Live workshops

Admins replacing the spreadsheet that runs everything. Builders shipping their first agent. Leaders deciding what their team should adopt. Each workshop ends with something working.

Guided conversations

Experienced practitioners guide panels and discussions, including Christians who work inside the labs building AI.

Build with the builders

There is no green room. Coaches are available throughout the day at your table, with their laptops open next to yours.

Faithful thought leadership

There's a lot of fear about AI right now. We want to bring hope, with clear eyes about what these tools can and can't do. Hopeful is openly Christian in its leadership and its coaches, and open to everyone. When the faith community and the technology community sit at the same table, good things get built.

Hopeful 2027 is run by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and making money isn't the goal. Sponsors and advertisers help fund it, and we're thankful for them, but they don't steer the event: it's built around the people in the room, not profit. Tickets aren't on sale yet. Save your seat and you'll get first access to early-bird tickets when they open.

Partners

Thankful for our partners.

We build Hopeful alongside the ministries we serve with. Corporate sponsors help fund it with tax-deductible gifts, tools and people, and get a working table with laptops open instead of a booth. Sponsors don't lead the event or set the agenda, and there are no sales pitches.

Partner with us

Questions

FAQ

Hopeful is for leaders and teams in churches, ministries, nonprofits, schools and companies. If you care about using technology for good, there's a seat for you.

You don't need to know how to code to get real value. The H track is built for people who are new to AI, coaches sit with you the whole time, and many of the best builds come from admins and leaders who have never written code.

Attendees aren't asked to sign a statement of faith. Our leadership and coaches are Christians who hold to the historic creeds, the event is openly faith-based, and everyone is welcome.

We meet in Tampa Bay, Florida, at a venue we share with registered guests. It's walkable to restaurants, and lunch is on your own, so plan to explore with your table.

Saving a seat is free, and nothing is charged today. When tickets open, you'll get first access to early-bird pricing. If you don't register then, your seats go to the next people in line.

Your whole team is welcome, and one form saves seats for everyone. Teams who build together keep building after they go home.

We expect to sell out, so saving seats early is the surest way in. If we miss you this year, we'll see you in 2028.
