  • Join us on Wednesday 23 April for “A Faith Response to AI”, an evening of honest dialogue, fresh perspectives, and thoughtful engagement with one of the most important topics of our time.

    We’ll host a dynamic panel discussion featuring three brilliant voices, each bringing a unique lens on faith and technology:
    Femi Stevens – Author of Humanising Artificial Intelligence, exploring how AI can serve people rather than displace them.
    Luke Whiting – CEO of Hailo, a faith-tech startup helping churches use data to lead well in the digital age.
    James Jefferies – Software Engineer and Data Specialist at Rewilding Britain, passionate about creation care, sustainability, and how tech can reconnect us to the natural world.

  • Lorenzo will share his story of bootstrapping his digital agency, and growing it organically for 23 years, until his exit in early 2025. Lorenzo will share mistakes made, lessons learnt, and the importance of maintaining perspective for business owners, especially for solo entrepreneurs. Knowing what you don’t know, as early as possible, and consolidating those gaps, is critical to your success.
