The Christian Economic Forum Global Event
JULY 25-28, 2027
Scotland
The Christian Economic Forum (CEF) is hosting its 2027 Global Event on the Scottish coast, bringing a global community together to collaborate on addressing the world’s greatest problems.
In July of 2026, the Christian Economic Forum’s Global Event in Palm Beach, Florida covered opportunities for integrating faith and entrepreneurship in higher education. The Center for L.I.F.E. sponsored seven undergraduate students from five schools across the globe, including Calvin University, Cedarville University, Grove City College, Lipscomb University, and Miami University. Savannah Henschel ’27 was among the students chosen to attend and learn firsthand from faith-driven business leaders.
Savannah Henschel ’27 was among the lucky students chosen to attend CEF and learn firsthand from faith driven business leaders who are operating their careers in a Christ-centered manner. Savannah was granted a scholarship by Leading the Integration of Faith and Entrepreneurship at Miami University of Ohio, which allowed her to travel to Palm Beach, Florida and attend the Christian Economic Forum. Savannah (pictured to the right, second from the right; front row) said that she was able to learn a lot about Christian entrepreneurs and the ways that they are integrating their faith into their work. She also had the opportunity to join breakout sessions discussing topics such as the loss of traditional Christian values in many businesses in our modern economy.

What is CEF?
Interested in attending the Christian Economic Forum Global Event in 2027?
The annual CEF Global Event seeks to convene CEF Members to a neutral platform to consider how we as Christian leaders can bring God-inspired solutions to the world’s greatest challenges.
Collectively, Members of CEF are involved in highly diverse sectors on every habitable continent and are pursuing excellence in each area. The uniting factor across this diversity is their singular purpose of bringing God’s Kingdom into each arena where they serve and operate.
The CEF Global Event is unlike a traditional conference: there are no outside presenters or keynote speakers. All content comes from Members in the form of challenges they are currently facing and issues they are passionate about, through TEDtalk-style presentations, interviews, expert panels, Q&A sessions, and small group discussion times where deeper relationships are built.
