The Nines Conference

I am a bit of a conference junkie.  I love leadership books and principles and I love to be able to see them live. There are 2 conferences that are coming up that are web based and they are FREE.  Anytime you can put the words conference and free together I don’t care who is doing it I want in.

If you haven’t heard about THE NINES yet…then listen up. This is an event unlike anything anybody has done.

• It is specifically FOR church leaders (although anyone can attend).
• You will hear from dozens of leaders. But get this…each one will only talk for 9 minutes. That’s it. Forget the lame ice breakers or stories about their childhood–they will get right to it.
• You don’t have to travel anywhere to participate. Gather as a staff in a conference room or sit at home in your underwear. Your choice.
• You can watch it all day (recommended!), or you can come and go, tune in and out as your schedule allows.
• It is totally FREE. You do have to register, but there is no cost and there are no strings attached.
