While I’m extremely excited about the upcoming HOW conference (and honored to be speaking)…I’m intrigued by Mark Batterson’s Unplugged. I knew Mark had been talking about doing a non-conference conference, but this is the first I’ve heard of it coming to light. The tagline is what grabs me ‘less conference. more conversation.’ I’m not speaking at this conference (though if you’re listening Mark, I’d certainly consider it) but I think it’s worth checking out.

To me conversation should be a big part of your conference experience. If you go, and only listen and never leave ‘sponge mode’ I think you miss out. Meet new people, share stories, make friends. Whenever I speak at a conference or to a group, my main objective is to give them something they can take away with them…I have a feeling that the Unplugged conference will give you much to take home.

If you can’t make it to Unplugged, still find a place to have conversation with others that battle similiar battles, and dream similar dreams. Another great option is a local lab.
