The Upcoming February Conferences - Plan NOW

Believe it or not, one of the Frequently Asked Questions that comes from our clients is: What Conference should I go to?

At Leadership Network we don't do a lot of conferences but try to partner with others that are doing them.

Here are a few in February that have hit my radar. I will list them by date:

1. February 4-6, 2010 - The Verge Conference in Austin, Texas

verge2010.org  Hosted by our friends down at Austin Stone Church

Speakers include Frances Chan, Matt Carter, Dave Ferguson, Alan Hirsch, Dave Gibbons and more.

Quite a few of the Leadership Network staff are going to be haunting that conference so look for them there.

2. February 9-12, 2020 The Radicalis Experience in Lake Forest, California

Probably the biggest, more diverse Saddleback Conference ever.Radicalis.com 

Lots of friends speaking including Rick, Mark Driscoll, Dino Rizzo, Andy Stanley and lots more.

If you ever went to the "old" Saddleback Conference, this looks like a quantum leap ahead and the old was pretty good!

We're not official partners on this one but my guess is that a few of our Western staff will be having tweet ups while there.

3. Recovery Conference 2010 in Riverside, California at The Grove church.

Speaking of speaker and perspective diversity, this is one of the best Recovery Conferences ever planned. recoveryconference2010.com

This is the fruit of lots of churches that have been working on Recovery Issues for the past five years. The stories of how your church can start, sustain, grow, and continue on the Recovery path to help a hurting world.

A long list of speakers including: Stephen Arterburn, John Townsend, Gary Collins, Bill Thrall, Jorge Acevedo, Teresa McBean and lots more.

This is one of our BIG partner conferences and we will have folks all over it.

4. Also February 22-23 on the opposite coast - Church Planters. Com annual meeting in Atlanta.

Churchplanters.com  Speakers include Rick Warren, Shawn Lovejoy, Alan Hirsch, Stephen Furtick, Ed Young and Dave Gibbons.

My buddies here in Atlanta Shawn Lovejoy and David Putnam host a great conference, this year in their brand new building up in Cumming, Georgia of Mountain Lakes Church.

I have tended to be there every year (ok, it's close and I don't have to get on a plane) to see lots of old and new friends. So if you have Church Planting interest or are interested in a wide variety of new church ideas, this is a great conference.

Got one in February to plug? Feel free to put it in the comments below or email to me for consideration on the next go round.

Thanks JR for the info. I was unaware. But that is just normal for me.
