Thrive 2027 has been announced, but its dates are not published yet.

Thrive Women's Conference 2026 took place October 9–10, 2026.

Thrive Women's Conference 2026 was held at Mayo Civic Center in Rochester, MN.

The conference is for Christian women seeking encouragement, equipping, and community.

It is most worthwhile for Christian women who want worship, teaching and community over two days, since the 2026 lineup was billed as featuring Lisa Bevere, Christina Girma-Hanfere, Martha Tennison and Susie Larson, with worship and optional add-ons such as a podcast recording and a speakers lunch. It is a faith-based ministry gathering rather than a professional or industry event, so those seeking career networking or continuing education credit would get less from it.

Attendees at church and ministry women's conferences usually wear casual, comfortable clothing such as jeans or casual dresses with layers, since arena-style sessions run long and convention halls can be cool in October.
