2026 CBiK Forum — Christian Business Conference in Kent

Our 2026 Forum will once again feature a number of special guest speakers: in addition to panels and some shorter TED Talk style sessions, our first keynote speaker for this year is Leadership Development Consultant Jo-Ann Monaghan, who will be sharing with us how to increase our resillience whilst still aiming for success. We'll also be hearing from our very own Julie Stevens in our second keynote of the day.

We'll also have a brief time of worship, and chances to pray together alongside group discussions. Of course, no networking event would be complete without… networking! So there will be time for open networking over a cup of coffee and some pastries.

For full details, see the day's running order below.

We're really pleased to be holding the Forum at Jubilee Church's newly-built facility near Maidstone. There is plenty of parking available onsite, and we'll be happy to help with transport from either of the train stations in Maidstone Town Centre, if needed.

Note, we suggest bringing lunch with you, as there are no food options within walking distance of the venue.

Connecting Christian Businesses across the South East, CBiK is a business meeting where faith is at the centre. We're so excited to bring back the CBiK Forum for it's fourth year. If you have any questions about the CBiK Forum, get in touch with us by e-mailing [email protected].
