While I love the fact that I have gotten to know so many of you through this blog, social networks, twitter, the lab…you name it. I really enjoy meeting you in person, it brings the relationship to a different level, makes it more real.

So…how about we kill two birds with one stone. Let’s meet up and some of the upcoming conferences/speaking gigs I have coming up in 2009. We can meet and you can enjoy some great conferences. Speaking at conferences is one of my favorite parts of what I do. Not only do I like giving everyone something to take back with them that can change the way they do church, but also to see the connections and relationships built.

Here’s where I’ll be so far (if you run a conference let’s talk so that I can expand this list*):

Jan: Ohio Ministries Convocation (OH)
Feb: NRB Conference (TN)
Feb: Church Solutions Conference (AZ)
Apr: Q Conference (TX)
Jun: HOW Design Conference (TX)
Sep: MinistryCOM (IL)

If your going to be at, or near, any of these reply to this post or drop me a note and we’ll make plans to at least grab a cup of coffee. If you don’t already have plans on being to at least one of these, check them out you’ll be glad you did.

* and if your conference is on an island…I’ll speak for free!
