Prepare for Inhabit
Help us spread the word about Inhabit! We’ve created a few simple graphics and sample text you can use to invite your community, network, or congregation to join us in Chicago.
One of the best parts of Inhabit is the relationships that form around shared work in neighborhoods. Our Slack channel helps contributors connect with one another before the gathering.
COMING SOON! Access the full schedule, maps, updates, and workshop details on your phone.
