Escape the Conference Grind: Join our Exclusive Gathering for Church Leaders in Orlando and Southern California
Conferences can be incredibly inspiring and helpful. They can get you out of your environment so you have fresh eyes to learn. They pack tons of information into a couple of days that can take weeks, months, and even years to apply. Workshops or seminars are also good, because they allow for a bit longer to learn about a specific topic and even interact some with the other people who are learning. I've taught many workshops over the years.
But personally, conferences don't do it for me. Neither do workshops or seminars or webinars.
Last year I decided to put together a gathering that I would want to attend. Here is what that looks like:
It's not a conference. Rather, think “TED Talk meets Roundtable."
No endless talking heads or “know-it-all” experts in the room.
Intentionally limited to a maximum of 40 leaders. More people than that and it starts to feel like an event rather than an intimate gathering where everyone can hear and be heard. With 20-40, the room is safe and the conversations are confidential.
The attendees help me set the agenda—based on their real-life frustrations, road-blocks and successes.
Purposeful breaks, open space, and long meals where the real learning happens--networking with others experiencing similar challenges. Bonus: The food is amazing!
A location that compels you to relax and take in the beauty.
Curated experiences that offer additional relational connections that enhance the learning.
A room of executive leaders who know the best learning comes from time with other leaders--listening to their stories, learning from their successes and failures.
Earlier this year we launched our first LeadingSmart Gathering in Orlando. It far exceeded our expectations with 38 leaders gathered from all over the country. This winter we are hosting two gatherings:
Anaheim, California -- February 7-9
Orlando, Florida -- February 19-21
Things you should know...
This is for Executive Pastors OR any church leader who sits at the executive team table.
We encourage you to come in teams. Education is alienation for those who are left behind. Learning happens best in community.
The maximum capacity is 40. We will have to close registration once we reach capacity. So don't delay
The Super Early Bird rate ends on October 31st.
