About
As CEOs, leaders, and stewards of the businesses and ministries God has entrusted to us, the shifting economic and cultural landscapes can be challenging. The flood of information, the pace of life, and the decline in culture and morals can be disheartening.
God’s Word promises us that His yoke is easy, and His burden is light. What about the way we are carrying the load makes that seem untrue? What could we change to carry the load in a way that is truly easy and light? The Bible also assures us our labor is not in vain when we remain steadfast and immovable – in other words, RESOLUTE – in Christ Jesus, and abounding in the work of the Lord.
Join us Sept. 28-29, and come prepared to receive spiritual, business, and relational encouragement and challenge. Our goal is to help you get back to a state of RESOLUTE readiness!
“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.”
1 Corinthians 15: 57-58 ESV

We want you to get the most out of your Summit experience, so we’ve strategically scheduled this year’s Summit on Sept. 28-29, when Congress is still in session.
Why is this important? As part of CEA’s mission to have members’ voices heard, we’ve set aside Wednesday, Sept. 27 as a Capitol Hill Day. For those interested in connecting with their members of Congress and staff to introduce themselves, discuss issues of concern, or to encourage them to be RESOLUTE in standing, promoting, and voting on righteous legislation, be sure to indicate your interest on the Summit registration form.
Due to popular demand, the 2023 CEA Summit is being held once again in Washington, D.C. at the magnificent Museum of the Bible.
MUSEUM OF THE BIBLE | 400 4th Street, SW, Washington, DC 20024 | 866-430-6682
Spot Hero Parking Page/App
Museum Security: Please allow AT LEAST 30 MINUTES to go through security each time you enter the museum. We plan to have a volunteer available to escort up to our event in the Gathering Room (top floor).
We strive to keep costs from being a barrier to attend our Summits. Even as costs and expenses continue to rise, attendees are asked to pay an administrative fee to offset the use of the beautiful Museum of the Bible.
As the event draws closer, upfront vendor costs are required.* Therefore, we are incentivizing members to register early to help us with planning and so we can offer you a fantastic Summit experience!
(June 2-Sept. 1) Member: $300, Member Spouse: $300, Non-Member: $350; Non-Member Spouse: $350.
(Sept. 2-Sept.27) Member: $375, Member Spouse: $375; Non-Member: $425; Non-Member Spouse: $425.
*Cancellation Policy: Between April 1 and July 1, cancellations will be refunded at 75% of the cost of the registration. From July 2 through Aug. 31, a 50% refund will be offered. After Sept. 1, no refunds will be provided. Tickets are non-transferable. To request cancellation, please email Sandra Snyder for assistance.
For your convenience, we’ve set up a room block at the Hyatt Place hotel — just one block from the Museum. Please use this link or call 1-888-HYATT-HP (1-888-492-8847) and mention Christian Employers Alliance (code G-CEA1.) Please do this so your room will be credited to our room block requirement.

FAQs
Members and their spouses are encouraged to attend and make it an educational and sightseeing adventure while in the nation’s Capitol!
Of course! In fact, attending the Summit is one of best ways to introduce industry and ministry peers to all that CEA has to offer. Why not invite (or even sponsor) a potential member and spouse today?
If you have any questions about possible invitees, please reach out to Jason Dudziak or any of our team members for assistance.
