Outcomes Conference 2027

How it compares

The Church Network Conference is the closer alternative for church administrators, executive pastors, and teams managing a local congregation. Its emphasis on church finance, HR, governance, and operations gives those roles a concentrated professional setting. Outcomes makes more sense when the organization works across the wider Christian nonprofit sector, or when fundraising and nonprofit management need to sit alongside leadership formation. The Church Network moves to Phoenix for its summer gathering; Outcomes occupies the spring calendar.

Global Leadership Summit serves a broader leadership-development purpose. Its speakers draw from business, faith, and other sectors, and participation is available through local host sites, online, or the studio audience in South Barrington. That format suits a team looking for shared leadership ideas without taking everyone to a ministry-specific conference. Outcomes is the more focused choice for professional practice within Christian nonprofits and direct conversations with their service providers.

Within the same community, Outcomes Conference Global Digital Experience offers recorded training and live faculty interaction in the fall. It suits distributed teams seeking the teaching; the spring conference adds the exhibit hall and shared reception, breaks, and lunches.

Outcomes is a useful trip for Christian nonprofit leaders who need fundraising, finance, governance, and leadership development in the same room.

Who exhibits

The exhibitor mix follows the work of a Christian nonprofit. Virtuous brings fundraising software, Barnabas Foundation brings planned-giving expertise, and CliftonLarsonAllen adds nonprofit accounting and financial advice. ECFA appears alongside leadership consultancies, communications providers, and conference venues such as Arrowhead Conference and Events and Ridgecrest Conference Center. Together, they give the hall a service-led character: the conversations concern donors, organizational stewardship, leadership teams, and ministry operations.

Outcomes Conference 2027

Outcomes Conference 2027 moves from the previous Dallas gathering to the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront under the theme RENEW. The exhibit application limits the hall to 35 booths and keeps the conference community together through a grand opening reception, networking breaks, and lunches. Christian Leadership Alliance is positioning the gathering around professional development, Christian leadership, and renewal. The published exhibitor mix includes Virtuous, Barnabas Foundation, CliftonLarsonAllen, and ECFA.

• Keep the exhibit hall opening reception in your plan: it brings the conference community into the supplier area as the hall opens.
• Use the exhibit hall lunches and networking breaks for conversations with ministry service providers, especially when comparing fundraising and financial support.
• Watch past Outcomes presenters on CLATV before choosing the learning experiences that best fit your ministry team.

Exhibiting

The hall suits firms serving Christian nonprofit management, fundraising, and leadership. Booths are assigned after the organizer receives a signed contract and payment; the package includes furnishings, promotion, and staff access to the exhibit hall and general sessions. A supplier whose team also wants the professional training should account for the separate conference upgrade. The opening reception, lunches, and networking breaks give exhibitors several points of contact with the same ministry audience.
