Explore the lineup below and get a feel for the voices, topics, and experiences that will shape the day.
From keynote moments to breakout conversations, each session is designed to offer practical tools, honest encouragement, and meaningful connection.
Meet our keynote speaker and one of the featured voices helping set the tone for Recharge Summit 2026.
Meet our keynote speaker Brian Mavis. He is the founder of America’s Kids Belong, is a pastor, husband, father and grandfather who, with his wife, fostered 9 kids and is a proud grandpa to six, half adopted through foster care.
Inspired by a social worker’s challenge to find more than enough families, so that the families, rather than the kids in care, were the ones waiting, Brian launched America’s Kids Belong in 2015. More than two decades of leadership and lived experience drive his call to help every child find belonging with a family.
Each workshop at Recharge Summit is designed to meet caregivers where they are with practical support, honest encouragement, and meaningful hope.
