Global Leadership Conference returns to Norwich     

After a three- year break the Global Leadership Summit returns to Norwich on November 25 at the Kings Centre, hosted by Norwich Youth for Christ.

After the past few years of being offered online, the event is back in local venues around the country. Nick Blanch, Director of Norwich Youth for Christ, was able to host one of the online dates in 2021.

“It was a great experience, being able to offer the conference during a time when we were still being careful about contact with large groups of people. But if I’m being honest, nothing beats being in the room together.

“It’s great that it’s back in Norwich and I’m excited to bring people together who are passionate about learning how to implement cutting-edge leadership principles into our churches and organisations. Whether you’re a CEO or an intern, there is just so much to get out of this conference.”

The list of speakers has just been released and includes

Craig Groeschel - Founder and senior pastor of?Life.Church and New York Times bestselling author. Life.Church is perhaps best known for its creation of the?YouVersion?Bible App which has been downloaded more than half a billion times worldwide.

Delegates get not only access to the full conference day but also a series of monthly video content released to them over the coming year. Nick said “This was something they trialled last year which has worked really well. It means you get access to further leadership content and we’ve benefited from them, using them in our team meetings to keep investing into our leadership”.
