[7] Among the Keswick Convention's early notable speakers were the Anglicans J. W. Webb-Peploe, Evan Henry Hopkins, E. W. Moore, William Haslam, W. Hay, M. H. Aitken and Handley Moule, as well as the South-African reformed pastor Andrew Murray and a Baptist, Frederick Brotherton Meyer.

John Stott, Rector of All Souls, Langham Place, gave the week's Bible readings on Paul's epistle to the Romans, chapters 5 to 8.

His exposition of chapter 6, in particular concerning "death to sin", is now regarded[8] as a key watershed in recent Keswick teaching, departing from the approach taken to this passage in earlier years.

[8] In 1969 a second week was added to the programme, this taking the form of a "Holiday Convention" giving more free time for visitors to enjoy the local area.

In 1975 the centenary celebrations were held, with the highlight being an address by Billy Graham before some 15,000 people gathered at the town's Crow Park on the shores of Derwentwater.

In order to extend the range of activities undertaken, Rawnsley Hall, formerly part of the Keswick School, was purchased by the Convention Trust in 1997.

This is located about 10 minutes walk from the Convention Centre and now forms the focal point for all the older children's and youth work.

The charity exists to promote bible teaching at the annual convention with the aim of encouraging holy and biblical lifestyles.

The Trust employs a full-time operations manager and a small number of permanent staff, based at the Convention Centre.

During 2013 the Council decided to create a new post of chief executive officer who would be responsible for the development of the convention, the wider work of Keswick Ministries, the use of the two sites and the strategic partnerships.

[6] In the 21st century, the annual convention is still centred in a large purpose-built tent erected over a concrete showground with audio-visual facilities to aid praise and teaching.

The venue is entered via the Convention Centre: a narrow two-storey block containing offices, a small shop etc., which fronts the site on Skiddaw Street.

Additionally, events (including the main youth activities) take place around Keswick chiefly in the convention's other venue, its own Rawnsley Centre, but also in local churches and meeting halls.

The 15,000 visitors to the convention find their own accommodation in the town, either in hotels, B&Bs, self-catering properties, or on one of a number of caravan or camping sites nearby.

Both purposefully teach the same material as the main event in order to support families learning together and facilitate conversations across generations.

Related to, but not directly managed by the convention, there are up to 20 "Keswick-style" events which take place over the year in various towns and cities in the United Kingdom.

[10] Further details released during 2016 are that the project will feature a main building, an all year round 400-seat auditorium plus up to six "break out" en suite rooms and accommodation for 60 people.
