The Keswick Convention is an annual gathering of conservative evangelical Christians in Keswick, in the English county of Cumbria.^[3]

The Christian theological tradition of Keswickianism, also known as the Higher Life movement, became popularised through the Keswick Conventions, the first of which was a tent revival in 1875 at St John's Church in Keswick.^[4]^[5]
