Novo Nugget: 2026 Conference Announcement
Ricky Happ and others have been tirelessly working to secure a conference venue for 2026. This week, Ricky joins us to share an update and the long-awaited location announcement!
The question I’ve been asked about 1,379,761 times is: “Where is Novo’s 2026 Conference going to be?”
Well, I finally have an answer other than “Earth.” I’m happy to announce that we have decided to end our search for the next location and just run it back!! That’s right: in less than 16 months, we will once again meet up on the beautiful, sunny, sandy beaches of Canc… Wait, let me explain.
You’re probably asking yourself, “Is this some kind of belated April Fools’ joke?” Do you really think I’d do that with such a long-awaited announcement?!
Yes. Yes, I would, and I did.
Seriously though, when searching for a conference venue, there are many considerations involved. Cost and budget factors are significant. We first started looking at sites with deep Biblical connection, but soon realized that those would be way out of our budget. We then visited two other sites that we thought would be great fits; it would have been easy to say yes and compromise a few things instead of continuing to search, but we didn't feel at peace about either one. After much prayer and more exploration, we are thrilled with the place God led us to: the setting, the venue, and the budget.
We’re genuinely happy to tell you that Conference 2026 will be in scenic Breckenridge, Colorado, at Beaver Run Resort! Breckenridge offers us a place not only to gather but also to experience God and nature together! (And yes, this is in the mountains, not at the beach. So sorry Darren Prince!)
We continue to fine-tune the details, and we’ll release more info later. But for now, here are the essentials:
Where: Beaver Run Resort, Breckenridge, CO
When: July 17-22, 2026 (17th and 22nd are travel days)
Registration: Our goal is to open registration on May 8th, 2025 right after the all-Novo call
Who: Initial registration launch will be for those in Bamboo only (staff, Novo volunteers, board, etc). Guests, partners, and others will all be able to register around early/mid-July.
What: Much of our conference content and focus will be aimed at Novo’s “north-star” vision of seeing gospel movements in all of our locations. In keeping with the Covering agreements, please remember that Novo’s Gospel Partners (InnerCHANGE and Empowering Leaders) are not required to attend Novo’s gatherings, but are still welcome and invited!
So please join me in praying for the following:
Conference 2026 and how it’ll shape Novo moving forward
The people we’ll interact with at the resort and while out and about
For those of the harvest in that area to whom we could minister
Now you know, so mark your calendars for beautiful Colorado in 2026!
Ricky, with Darren and the Nugget Team
