2026 CED Summit

Pursuing Transformational Relationships in Development 

Tuesday, April 28th - Wednesday, April 29th, 2026
Dulles, VA | Greater Washington DC area
Register here!
Join us to connect with fellow Kingdom-minded economic development practitioners.

​We will anchor our time from keynote speakers Phil Smith and Jeff Galley, sharing from their recent book, The Way Back to One Another. Inspired by their own experiences of witnessing transformational community in savings group around the world, The Way Back to One Another addresses the epidemic of loneliness and fragmentation in modern society, reframing the biblical call to love “one another” as a communal, not merely individual, mandate. For practitioners focused on economic dignity and sustainable development, Phil and Jeff will share from their own experience and encourage us to consider how lasting change, economic and beyond, can be realized through restored relationships, interdependence, and communities shaped by Christ‑centered love.
