JoPa Productions, LLC exists to bring people together around today’s most innovative ideas. Founded by Doug Pagitt and Tony Jones in 2008, the initial endeavor of JoPa was the Church Basement Roadshow which “reinvented the book tour” (Publisher’s Weekly) and The Great Emergence National Event, a celebration of the release of Phyllis Tickle’s eponymous book. JoPa continued this work in 2009 with two more events – the Moltmann Conversation and Christianity21 – as well as expanding the business into social media and marketing consultations.
