SEPTEMBER 18–19, 2026
YOU NEED TO BE IN THE ROOM.
If you are building a business, leading a ministry, growing in your career, starting an organization, developing a brand or carrying a vision that you know is bigger than you, IGNITE was created with you in mind.
Come for the encounter.
Come for the information.
Come for the strategy.
Come for the relationships.
Come ready to build.
Day One: Clarity, Commitment & Alignment
Before you can build the next chapter of your life, business, ministry, or vision, you must first become clear about what you're building and why it matters.
Friday is designed to help you step away from the noise and focus on what deserves your attention.
Through worship, teaching, guided reflection, strategic conversations, and practical exercises, you'll gain clarity around your vision, identify what may be competing for your focus, and begin making decisions about what comes next.
This is the day you stop carrying ideas and start defining priorities.
The day you stop circling possibilities and start choosing direction.
You will leave Day One with greater clarity, stronger conviction, and a commitment to the future you want to create.
Because meaningful progress begins when a decision is made.
Day Two: Strategy, Execution & Momentum
If Friday is about deciding what you're building, Saturday is about determining how you're going to build it.
This is where ideas become plans.
Priorities become action steps.
And vision becomes strategy.
Through guided planning sessions, strategic discussions, practical exercises, and real-time problem solving, you'll create a roadmap designed around your goals, opportunities, resources, and next steps.
You'll evaluate what deserves immediate attention, what can wait, and where your time and energy will create the greatest return.
By the end of Day Two, you'll know exactly what you're building, why it matters, and how to begin moving forward with confidence.
Because execution becomes easier when the path is clear.
IGNITE Your Enterprise
The Faith Meets Framework Intensive
At the center of the conference is IGNITE Your Enterprise, a ninety-minute strategic working session designed to help attendees transform vision into a practical plan.
Using the IGNITE Power Plan Framework, you'll identify opportunities, evaluate priorities, uncover blind spots, and create a roadmap for moving forward with greater clarity and confidence.
This session helps bridge the gap between inspiration and implementation by guiding you through the foundational decisions that determine whether an idea remains a possibility or becomes a reality.
Purpose
What are you building and why?
People
Who do you serve and who do you need around you?
Product
What value are you creating?
Profit
How does the vision become sustainable?
By the end of this session, you'll leave with greater clarity, stronger direction, and a framework you can immediately begin implementing.
Because ideas create possibilities.
Structure creates momentum.

This experience places you in a room with entrepreneurs, professionals, ministry leaders, visionaries, and decision makers who are actively building what comes next.
Because sometimes the opportunity is not just what you learn.
It's who you meet.
It's the conversations you have.
It's the ideas that become clear.
It's the relationships that open doors.
And it's the environment that reminds you what's possible.

During this session, Jocelyn will help you evaluate opportunities, refine priorities, identify potential blind spots, and strengthen the roadmap you created throughout the conference experience.
Whether you're building a business, launching an initiative, expanding a ministry, pursuing leadership opportunities, or navigating your next chapter, this conversation is designed to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and direction.
Every Attendee Receives The IGNITE Workbook
This workbook was created for implementation.
Inside you'll find planning exercises, strategic frameworks, reflection prompts, goal setting tools, and practical worksheets designed to help you turn ideas into action.
It becomes your working guide throughout the conference and a resource you'll continue to reference long after the event ends.
Bring Your Team. Build Together.
Some of the most important conversations happen after the session ends.
They happen during lunch.
In hotel lobbies.
On the drive home.
In team meetings.
And in the weeks that follow when decisions must be made and plans must be executed.
When the people closest to you experience the same conversations, frameworks, and planning process, implementation becomes easier because everyone is moving from the same playbook.
Whether you're bringing your ministry team, leadership team, business partners, colleagues, mastermind members, sorority sisters, accountability group, or closest friends, I AM HER STORY: IGNITE was designed to be experienced together.
