We believe iron sharpens iron. Many of us are doing some pretty innovative things in ministry communications but don't necessarily have the platform to share our insights. [Or consider ourselves professional speakers] This is a place for intentional collaboration, networking and brainstorming of new ideas for stuff that's truly making a difference.



Format

We've intentionally planned this event to be insanely interactive. [If you're looking for a place to just sit & listen for an entire day, this probably isn't it.]

We believe the collective wisdom of the group can be more valuable than any individual facilitator, so audience participation is key.

We've structured the day to include a few large, MBA classroom-style discussion groups as well as a wide variety of "specialty" sessions that cover a wide variety of topics. On the day of the event, you'll have the opportunity to tailor your agenda to hit the sessions that will benefit you the most.

We've also built in some intentional networking opportunities--especially over lunch. Seriously, you won't want to miss this.
