2024 A Call to Action Conference
April 18 - 21, 2024
Join the WakeWell Crew at A Call to Action Conference, a three-day experience of engaging keynote sessions, live music, and empowering workshops aimed at igniting a movement of disciple-making around the globe in the action sports culture, happening from April 18th to April 20th in Fort Myers, Florida.
With over 4 million wake enthusiasts in action sports, it's one of the fastest-growing communities, yet vastly unreached by the Gospel. WakeWell exists to bridge the wake culture to Jesus and bring this living water to a thirsty wake culture.
This conference isn't just an event; it's an immersive experience designed to equip WakeWell chapter leaders, attendees, and all wake enthusiasts with encouraging messages and relevant resources that will edify our WakeWell communities. We believe God wants to do immeasurably MORE (Eph 3:20) through WakeWell and this conference will help you in reaching your local wake community for Jesus.
Register now and claim your spot as a catalyst for change in the action sports community. Secure your place among fellow WakeWell enthusiasts eager to make a lasting impact.
We will be reserving a block of rooms at the Crown Plaza Ft. Myers for our “Wake Attendees”. Click below to register through us for the A Call to Action Conference!
