I get asked all the time – Why Doesn’t Leadership Network do conferences anymore?
Well – I point them first to our online events that allow us to reach far more people than ever before. In fact there is one next month – Staff Infection. (Go check out the cool intro vid)
And while we will do around 50 leader gatherings this year, almost one a week, these are almost always CLOSED, INVITE ONLY communities and labs where we help teams go from ideas to implementation to impact using our processes so they aren’t really conferences.
BUT WE STILL LOVE TO GO TO CONFERENCES!!
In fact our team has been out across the fruited plains this spring to multiple gatherings of church leaders.
We still believe conferences are a great way to connect with other leaders to be inspired, find new resources and make new friends.
We’ve had folks at Catalyst West, All Access, Uprising, and several others. And in the next few weeks we will have team members at
Exponential – in Orlando next week
Advance2011 – In Raleigh the next week
Catalyst Dallas – In Dallas (duh) the week after that.
And probably a few more my staff is sneaking off to that I don’t know about.
So – go find one to attend near you. Let us know what you find. Give us a shout via email or twitter and let’s try to connect.
Just use the #leadnet hashtag and we will find you.
Yes I am a conference goer. Why would they have to diminished something like that.
