Citygate Annual Conference and Exposition

Lexington, Kentucky

June 11 - 14, 2024

Citygate Network (formerly known as The Association of Gospel Rescue Missions) knows how to organize an excellent conference. Of course, they cover various education topics (hospitality, strategic thinking, operations, research, etc.), but what's different is how Citygate incorporates their location into the schedule. Every year, Citygate Network will schedule time for attendees to visit local missions, see attractions, and take in the city. In 2024, we look forward to the theme "Against All Odds" as we head to the bluegrass state!
