It’s more than a conference. It’s a carefully crafted spiritual
environment where you can encounter Jesus, get personalized coaching
and be equipped to start something new on your college campus.
Main Sessions
Inspiring Main Sessions

The Greenhouse
The Heart of ambition
The heart of Ambition is the Greenhouse, an interactive campus
start-up incubator where you can encounter Jesus, get personalized
coaching, and get equipped to start something new on your campus.
Meet with a coach to discern God’s call and plan your next steps.
Connect with ministry experts to explore how to reach your unique
corner of campus.
Empower Workshops
The Greenhouse will offer workshops to equip you with skills like
network mapping, sharing the gospel, hearing from God, and praying
for healing.
Encounter Loft
The Encounter Loft will be a space where you can encounter God in
prayer, worship, intercede for breakthrough on your campus, and
receive prayer ministry.
Partnership Tracks
Mobilizing Partners for Campus Revival
At Ambition, we have a conviction that we won’t see the breakthroughs
we long for on our own. Mission isn’t about sent individuals but sent
communities, so we’re investing in partnership.
Each day,
we’ll host tracks for faculty, volunteers, pastors and church
partners, intercessors, and EveryCampus partners. We’re praying that
God would use Ambition to mobilize diverse teams of partners to seek
revival on campus together.

Ambition is a four-day conference designed to help you gather with
others and start something new on a college campus. It includes spaces
to dream and be equipped to plant new ministries in new places and in
new contexts.

partner ministries, InterVarsity alumni, intercessors committed to
praying for God’s work on campus, and anyone interested in reaching
college students around the country.
What is the cost of Ambition?
$125 for students and $175 for all other attendees. Payment in full is

*Please note: All virtual attendees will receive a copy of the IVP new release, Reviving Mission and a PDF of the conference handbook which has the whole schedule and lots of links to resources. Due to copyright restrictions, the worship sessions will not be streamed.

We will be live-streaming some of the event sessions online for those
unable to attend or for those who want to host watch parties.
Information about the livestream will be posted here in December.
I can no longer attend. Can I get a refund?
There is a $25 non-refundable deposit for Ambition. If you've paid in
full, we're able to refund 50% of your payment if you cancel by
December 20, 2024. Email ambition@intervarsity.org concerning a
refund.
How are meals handled at Ambition?
Meals are on your own for the conference. There are several options
within walking distance of the hotel and the opera house. When you
arrive at Ambition, your handbook will give you a listing of many of
the restaurant options nearby.
