EPTA/HLT Conference 2026

Our conference will unfold over two focused days—one designed for academic dialogue and another tailored to the needs of church leaders. This approach creates space for both rigorous reflection and practical guidance for today’s changing landscape. 

The conference venue will be at the Norwegian School of Leadership and Theology (HLT) in Oslo, Norway, and will also be partly accessible online for those unable to attend in person. The conference will take place from Friday morning 24th April to Saturday evening 25th April 2026. In addition, there will be a prayer and worship night on Thursday night, as well as the opportunity to attend a church service on Sunday morning. Participants are therefore encouraged to plan their travel from Thursday April 23 to Sunday April 26.
