Draft Schedule & Other Updates
Registration begins THIS WEEK (March 15) for ThinkWell 2023! Please plan to register early. Registration will be from our website here (it’s also a tab up on the main menu bar).
We have a few updates to share at this point!
SCHEDULE: We’re still finalizing some details, but a draft schedule of session topics is now up on our website! Please note this is subject to change and still has a few holes, but it's getting close to final. We'll have a full schedule, including descriptions of the sessions and other features of the week, later this spring. VIEW SCHEDULE HERE
SPEAKERS: A reminder that you can find speakers confirmed to date listed here with brief bios (we expect to be adding a few more in the weeks to come): VIEW SPEAKERS
HELP US GET THE WORD OUT: We need your help! Word of mouth (usually in the form of a recommendation by a friend, pastor, or youth pastor) is the way most people find out about ThinkWell. We’d really appreciate your using all your social networks and contact methods to spread the word about the 2023 conference. We developed some resources to help you do so, including a digital flyer (PDF), some language you can use to explain what ThinkWell is all about, a short 5-minute video that you can share (or show), and a media slide (for projecting on screen at a gathering/church service). You can find those resources here on our website. If you’d like some nicely printed versions of the full-color flyer, just email us at info@thinkwellconference.org and tell us how many you want and where to send them!
SMALL GROUPS: One final update! Each ThinkWell is a learning opportunity, and one thing we have learned after 3 ThinkWells is that students love the fellowship and community aspect of the week. This year, we're working to hone this part of the conference in a few different ways. One way is by striving to enrich and improve the time students spend in small-group discussions (usually a couple of times during the course of a day). Due to inevitable differences between those at the younger and older end of the age spectrum attending ThinkWell, small groups will be age-based in 2023. We will also have more adults/young adults on hand who are trained to lead/facilitate groups. Team competition and other activities will remain fully intergenerational, but we believe the splitting of the younger and older students for discussions will make these groups more fruitful for all.
That’s all for now! Look for an announcement in a couple days once registration is officially OPEN!
