Code for the Kingdom 2016 Global Hackathon Dallas, TX

Leadership Network was created in 1984 from the close collaboration between Bob Buford and Peter Drucker to foster innovative movements among churches that active the broader church for greater impact.Believing that meaningful conversations and connections can change the world, Leadership Network seeks to help leaders of innovation navigate the future by exploring new ideas together to find application to their own unique contexts. Through collaborative meetings and processes these leaders map future possibilities and challenge one another to action that leads to results.Through our gatherings, publications, books and online experiences we share the learnings and inspiration to others and surface new conversations worthy of exploration.Leadership Network is a Dallas, Texas, based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

 Ideate. Build. Impact.    |    Create technology that matters.
This is a movement to ignite the Christian passion and purpose within technologists and entrepreneurs to innovate culture shaping technologies that would reclaim our times for the Gospel.
We will engage, challenge, and release the culture makers for sustained Kingdom impact.
WHAT IS IT?
Code for the Kingdom is an initiative of Leadership Network, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization fostering innovation by bringing talented people together to take ideas to implementation to impact.
On the weekend of October 21-23, 2016, we are bringing together technologists, entrepreneurs, creative’s, business people, ministry leaders, visionaries, and anyone passionate about faith and technology, to use their gifts to advance the Gospel at a Code for the Kingdom hackahton. 
The Global Hackathon will run in 13 world cities simultaneously, including Atlanta, Bangalore, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Guatemala City, Jakarta, La Paz, London, Manila, Seattle, Tarija, and Warsaw.
Together our vision is to provide more opportunities for communities all over the world to participate and showcase innovation and entrepreneurship. We expect over 2,000 people to participate across all cities and address a number of challenges aimed at helping release the oppressed, teaching God’s Word, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and supporting the church and the body of Christ.
