¡El Futuro is Here! 2025
¡El Futuro Is Here! Conference Registration
July 29-31, 2025
In July 2025 Dominican University will host the 4th ¡El Futuro Is Here! Conference designed to create a space for rich theological conversation and reflection for campus ministers, theologians, student leaders, and other key collaborators. The El Futuro is Here Conference seeks to help colleges and universities celebrate the cultural practices of our Latinx students and see them as constitutive of a vibrant life en lo cotidiano (in the everyday).
We encourage colleges and universities to send teams of 3-5 people total—a combination of undergraduate students and those who serve them as department leads, ministers, faculty, staff, and administrators (mission officers, diversity officers, etc.) to engage in a series of conversations and experiences that...
- Celebrate the social, cultural, and epistemological contributions of Latine communities,
- Learn from nationally renowned experts in Hispanic theology and ministry, and
- Pursue more culturally sustaining strategies for theological education and pastoral praxis.
Registration Cost
This conference has been generously underwritten by our donors and, as such, we are able to keep the registration costs at a reasonable rate.
Any institution may register a team (comprised of 1-5 participants) for a flat fee of $500.
