GOODFRUIT FEST Live & Online: Early Bird tickets + First set of speakers announced
From storytelling secrets by Pixar & Disney advisor, to culture-making lessons from the life of Paul, grab a ticket for this online event.
When we thought about organising this year’s GOODFRUIT Festival (previously Blueprint Conference), we wondered whether we should do it at all. With everything happening in the world since February this year, you could say plans were interrupted and shifted in priority. In the end, we decided to push forward with the event and it came down to a key foundational point: Now more than ever we need resources, community and encouragement.
GOODFRUIT Festival will take place on 6-7th November and will be a convening point for founders, creators and people passionate about seeing God’s kingdom come in their space of culture. The event will be live and online, not quite a zoom call but similar, where we have tried to maximise for interaction, allowing attendees to have peer to peer conversations as well as interact with speakers, engage in conversations and ask questions in workshops. Given you can attend from the comfort of your bed or sofa, we’ve also factored in time for breaks, reflection and worship.
Conversations, talks and workshops across the event will cover themes on mental health, how we can better engage with culture, the legacy of the stories we tell, overcoming pain and loss, identity, trends and opportunities post COVID-19, design, taking your idea to the world, building effective community and much more. Keynote speakers range from world renowned scholar and historian N.T Wright, to Bobette Buster the Story whisperer at Pixar, Disney and 21st CenturyFox and Hosanna Wong, a rising spoken word poet, preacher and author of SuperAdded.

Secondly, we wouldn’t have met David if not for our community member, friend and designer Luke Tonge for making the introduction. Check out his work at www.luketonge.com
