The theme for this year is "Written in the Stars”

The heart of this year’s theme is focusing on being seen.

We often try to be known for what we do or what we achieve, or perhaps what others might think of us. But the truth is ‘You can’t give what you don’t have’. Before we can love, encourage, or see others well, we first need to experience it ourselves.
