Concept
Q was created as a place where church and cultural leaders could come together to collaborate and
explore ideas about how the Gospel can be expressed within our cultural context. Our method of
learning is simple: exposure, conversation and collaboration. We didn’t want to create just another
conference, but instead, make an intentional effort to platform the best and the brightest ideas that are
shaping our world and interact with them.
We do this each year in a new city, carefully chosen to reflect a unique context of Western culture so
that leaders are continually challenged and exposed to the changing landscape of a post-Christian
setting. By bringing together leaders from the channels of media, education, politics, arts and
entertainment, business, the social sector and the church to learn from one another, it instigates lively
interaction and learning that seldom takes place in other environments.
We believe that inherent in Christian faithfulness is the responsibility to create a better world, one that
reflects God’s original design and intention. Q is a place leaders can explore what that might look like
and how God’s intention is showing up in the lives of their peers and the cultural projects they create.
Our scope continues to grow, but our gatherings remain intimate and intentional; a small environment
designed to draw together innovators and the best ideas through which we can embody the Gospel in
public life. Over the course of three days at Q, you will encounter short, powerful presentations from
over twenty-five dynamic presenters,
