Where the leaders shaping today’s world work together to advance God’s economy.

History
CEF began in 2011 as an annual event to bring the world’s top leaders and experts together to collaborate and advance ideas that work. A small group met in Jackson Hole, WY in the very same room the Federal Reserve would meet in weeks later. The attendees prayed for the leadership of our nations, discussed some of the most pressing challenges of the day, and left with encouragement and solutions to implement.

Since this first meeting, CEF has become a global platform for leaders to collaborate and introduce strategic ideas for the spread of God’s economic principles and the goodness of Jesus Christ.

In the years since its birth, CEF has grown beyond simply an annual event. We used to be a global event you went to. We are becoming a global network you belong to.
