2027 KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Jen Hatmaker

Bestselling Author  //  Award Winning Podcaster  //  Fierce Advocate
Bio
Jen Hatmaker is a bestselling author, beloved podcaster, dynamic speaker, educator, activist, and mother of five—equal parts powerhouse and heart-on-her-sleeve human. 

Through her 15 books—including five New York Times bestsellers—Jen has become a trusted voice for millions of women navigating life, faith, and reinvention. Whether she's leading transformative courses, gathering readers in her vibrant book club, or hosting conversations with brilliant thought leaders on her award-winning For the Love podcast, Jen shows up with humor, grit, and a fierce commitment to authenticity.

Her core belief? When women walk in freedom and agency, they change everything. Fully alive, fully themselves—this is when women become the world’s greatest gift.

Her most personal work yet, AWAKE: A Memoir, released September 23, 2025. Told in raw, real-time vignettes, it’s a stirring journey through disruption, reinvention, and the unexpected liberation of beginning again.

A few other things you should know about Jen: She still rocks a paper calendar and her original AOL email. She loves cooking from scratch, but is not too precious to inhale a Totino’s pizza. She has an abiding love for 90s country, prefers her concerts seated thank you very much, and is delightfully empty-nesting in a creaky 1908 farmhouse that was once overrun by teenagers. Her first favorite book was The Secret Garden. And she takes her coffee with Almond Joy creamer and won’t be reformed.
