About the Encounter Events
To mark the release of Encounter, Ian is hosting a series of book signings and in-person events across Australia and New Zealand. These gatherings are an opportunity to meet Ian, hear about the ideas behind the book, and engage in thoughtful conversation around faith, creativity, and the stories that shape how we see the world.
Each event is designed to be reflective and accessible, creating space for genuine dialogue rather than formal presentations.

Following his Australian and New Zealand tour, Ian plans to take Encounter to Europe and the United States in 2027.
Whether you’re organising a conference, church gathering, school event, or leadership forum, Ian brings clarity, depth, and thoughtful engagement to every setting.
If you’re interested in hosting an event internationally, we’d love to hear from you.
