BUT WHY AUSTIN?
BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE WORLD-CHANGING INNOVATION HAPPENS.
Twitter launched to global recognition here in 2007. GroupMe, the biggest worldwide messenger, made its debut in 2010 in Austin. The earliest key forums for the 2020 US Presidential race took place here in Austin. Since 1987, Austin has held culture’s premier innovation gathering where creative leaders converge to shape the future—and we’re bringing faith-driven solutions to the center of it all.

FAQs
What is the goal of the summit & why Austin?
Twitter launched to global recognition in Austin in 2007. GroupMe, the biggest worldwide messenger, made it’s debut at Austin in 2010. Austin even hosted the earliest key forums for the 2020 US Presidential race. Since 1987, culture has convened in Austin each March to explore innovation, policy, and art that pushes society forward.
For too long, the church and problem-solving have been missing from this conversation. SWGP Summit in Austin changes that. We’re bringing key players into one room to push solutions forward.
We’ll set the table through breakouts, main stage presentation, and network times. You’ll decide where to go from there.
We’re never prescriptive, but we are action-oriented. The goal is simple: release ideas, capital, and solutions into the ecosystem. This is where the Church reclaims its place in the innovation conversation.
I’ve attended an SWGP Member Launch Weekend, is this different?
Yes! The Launch weekend helped you get clear, get free, and get going on developing a family giving or investment policy. Now, we are going to get in the game. SWGP Launch in Austin is a chance to meet some of the leading problem solvers from around the world.
