The conference, running 7thand 8th May, was opened by the next Bishop of London, Dame Sarah Mullally and has people from all spheres, not just church leaders, and welcomed people from finance, education and business.
Pete Wynter, the curate at HTB's Leadership College in London told Premier: "we're expecting people from all over the world actually, although primarily it's people from the uk...people from all denominations."
Pete explained the aim was: "trying to help inspire confidence and help people work out 'what does it look like for me to really take a lead and to influence in whatever it is that God has called me to lead in?'"
He added that it was also: "trying to mobilise the church in this country and other nations that will be joining us to continue to step out, continue to tell people about Jesus, continue to raise our heads and speak with confidence about all that he's doing in our day and all that he's going to use us to do as well."
Around 5000 people, including many volunteers, are expected to fill the Royal Albert Hall for talks by authors, pastors, a governor of a prison and a lawyer, as well as pastor of HTB Nicky Gumbel.

The conference has been going for a few years and Pete said: "I think people really get inspired in their own walk with Jesus as well"
He told the story of someone who came to the conference last year to see a particular speaker, having not been to church in a while and not being that interested in faith.
He got inspired by the talks, was prayed for and "something came alive in them", Pete said: "their journey this year – they're in the world of education - has really taken off and a sense of real faith in Jesus that's dynamically impacting their everyday life,
"They're going back to church, their whole family are now to church...they feel very inspired about the work that they're doing in the education sector."

Speaking of how the UK needs Christian in leadership, he added: "We have to encourage one another – we're trying to build the body and bring strength to the body in all its forms,
"We want to be encouraging the church to step up, to stand firm, to take hold of every opportunity and to influence and lead other people. I think we see that happening all through the bible as God called men and women to influence in their day."
Speaking about the need to spread the gospel, Pete said: "There's a significant need to reach the emerging generation, there are many young people in the UK who have act never heard the stories of Jesus."
