Kimmy and Janae: Speaker Rundown and Schedule
Kimmy and Janae are back with another update — and this one is packed.
In their latest video, Kimmy and Janae walk us through the full schedule and speaker lineup for the 2026 U.S. National Conference in Washington, D.C., September 3–5. If you’ve been waiting for the details, wait no longer.
The Schedule at a Glance
Thursday, September 3 | Banquet — 6:30 PM
The conference opens Thursday evening with a catered, plated dinner and an address from General Jerry Boykin. Drawing from decades of military service and deep personal conviction, General Boykin will challenge us to think courageously about faith, freedom, and the responsibility of this generation.
Please note: The Thursday night banquet is currently sold out. To be added to the waitlist, call our headquarters office at 425.775.7282.
Friday, September 4 | Morning Session — 9:00 AM
This year’s conference features a fresh format. Friday and Saturday mornings will each include three speakers — voices the Lord is using in powerful ways right now.
Friday morning’s speakers include:
- Dr. Susan Michael — President of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, USA
- E.J. Kimball — Director of Interfaith Outreach and Engagement for the Combat Antisemitism Movement, Director of Policy and Strategy for the U.S.-Israel Education Association, and Aglow’s own Israel Education Director and host of the Israel Unveiled podcast
- Sandy Wezowicz — Aglow Israel Education Director and host of Israel Unveiled
Friday, September 4 | Afternoon Activation — 2:00 PM
Re-energize to Mobilize — led by Janet Mangum and Fran Hallgren, who together oversee Transformations. This session is exactly what it sounds like: preparation to go out. We’ll be leaving the four walls of the hotel and taking the light of Jesus to the streets of Washington, D.C.
Friday, September 4 | Evening Session — 7:00 PM
Lou Engle will be speaking Friday evening. If you read Nancy’s announcement a few weeks ago, you already know how significant this is. The last time Lou spoke to Aglow was at our 40th Anniversary Conference in 2007. We cannot wait to hear what he brings to us this year.
Saturday, September 5 | Morning Session — 9:00 AM
Saturday morning brings another powerful trio:
- Dave McDaniel — Director of Donor Relations for Aglow and Director of Men of Issachar
- Jason Hershey — Founder and Director of David’s Tent DC
- Rear Admiral Margaret Kibben (Ret.) — Chaplain of the U.S. House of Representatives
Saturday, September 5 | Afternoon Activation — 2:00 PM
Prayer Blitz — led by Aglow’s own Prayer Director, Helen Duperree. Come expecting to be activated in prayer and equipped with fresh strategies for this hour.
Saturday, September 5 | Closing Session — 7:00 PM
The conference closes Saturday evening with Nancy McDaniel, Aglow’s President & CEO. This will be Nancy’s first in-person U.S. National Conference since stepping into this role, and we are eager to hear what the Lord has placed on her heart for all of us.
Note: This is a change from previous years — the closing session moves to Saturday night, and there will not be a Sunday morning conference session.
Sunday, September 6 | Optional Self-Guided Prayer Tour — 9:00 AM
Before you head home, consider joining an optional self-guided prayer tour of Washington, D.C. Brochures will be available in the hotel lobby Sunday morning. If you go, we’d love to hear your testimonies and memories afterward!
