The conference
The 10th Annual Ripple Conference will be held February 13–15, 2026.
The conference theme will be A Recipe for Interfaith.
Ripple is all about connection, curiosity, and understanding. It’s a celebration of how individuals with diverse religious, spiritual, and ethical identities come together in pursuit of kindness, learning, and community.
​​
Our goal is to empower and inspire interfaith student leaders.
​The Ripple Conference offers time to learn, engage, reflect, and share. Together we will learn about other traditions, including religious, spiritual, and secular worldviews. We will engage in social justice and interfaith dialogue. In smaller community groups, we will share our own perspectives and process the conference experience. Other events within the conference will offer time to share music, stories, and delicious food.
​
The Ripple Conference offers a balance of structured and unstructured, small and large group events to provide a unique conference experience. We don’t just want to talk about interfaith, we want to make it happen.
​
We leave you with the question:
Where will your ripples go?
2026 Theme:
A recipe for Interfaith
We will gather together at Elon University in beautiful North Carolina from February 13-15, 2026 to make interfaith happen.
​
This year’s theme, A Recipe for Interfaith, invites us to explore the ingredients that make interfaith connections possible, both symbolically and tangibly. Together, we’ll look at how food and shared meals create space for connection, and how sharing recipes, stories, and traditions can help us build understanding across religious, spiritual, and ethical identities and worldviews.
​
At Ripple, Elon University’s student-led interfaith conference, you can engage with these questions, and more. That’s the ripple effect – giving students a positive multifaith experience that inspires them explore their own identities, ask tough questions, and leave the conference inspired to engage in interfaith within their own communities.
Please take a look at the schedule for the 2025 conference. Please check back regularly for updates about breakout sessions and speakers for 2026!
