Top Ten Events to attend in 2009
My suggestions for what Leadership events you should attend in 2009. Obviously, I highly recommend attending Catalyst in Atlanta (October 7-9), Catalyst West Coast in LA (April 22-24), and Catalyst One Days in different cities (next is February 26 in Atlanta). So outside of those, here is my list of suggestions.
2. Q- April 27-29, Austin, TX.
3. Drive- May 4-6, Atlanta, GA.
4. Orange- April 29-May 1, Atlanta, GA.
5. Innovation3- January 27-28, Dallas, TX.
6. Maximum Impact- May 8, Atlanta, GA. (simulcast)
7. Leadership Summit- August 6-7, 2009
8. Exponential- April 20-23, Orlando, FL
9. Unleash- March 12, Anderson, SC
10. National Pastors Convention- February 10-13, San Diego, CA
bonus event: The Idea Camp- February 27-28, Irvine, CA. A free conference for idea makers.
Great List Brad.
Kinda wondering if Atlanta will have anything left to hear or for that matter (confer) about after all these spring events.
May be time for some teams to confer and agree on spreading things out a bit. Law of the Gumball machine.
Curious to know if there are any under the radar events…
If you signed up today for just the first five conferences (and only the Atlanta version of Catalyst), you’d be out $1,787 ($357.40 average per event). Of course, that’s before travel, hotel, meals, etc.
I guess the recession hasn’t hit the church conference market yet.
I can’t believe the Idea Camp didn’t make your top 10…a free conference with people like Mike Foster, Eric Bryant, Dave Gibbons, Spencer Burke, Zach Hunter, and Brad Abare to name a few.
I heard the guy who is putting it on is great too. Haha
I still like you and will continue to read your blog. (seriously, good list…see you at WCC)
Charles- you are right! i am adding the idea camp as an honorable mention.
Ben- this is a great under the radar event.
How bout giving away a free ticket to each one Brad? JK. I would love to attend every one of them.
