Innovate is coming up quick!

I know I say this every year (and I mean it every year) but this year's conference will be the best, most practical and empowering one yet. I have no doubt.

A few "link love" things that I'm excited about:

• Innovate is on Twitter. I love that. From information to price specials, @innovate08 is definitely worth following.
• The speaker line up this year is phenomenal: Mark Beeson, Tim Stevens, Rob Wegner, Shawn Wood (who, BTW has a brand new book out), LifeChurch.tv's directional leadership team and Steven Furtick.
• The Dream Team will be back and even better than last year (start dreaming big Zach Montroy!)
• I get to catch up with my blog buddies: Jim Henry and Darren Plummer.
• Lisa's father-in-law, Joel DeSelm, is coming with a group. He's my favorite "father-in-law who isn't actually my father-in-law."
• I will get to hang out with my awesome friends from Relevant Church: Paul, Jarrett, Jamie, Carl and their families!
• NEW Casual Q&A's are being introduced to the mix. This is one aspect of Innovate I'm most excited about.
• I get to work with amazing volunteers and amazing teams!

The clock is ticking. I cannot wait (okay, I can wait...because well, there is a lot to do!). If you haven't signed up yet, trust me...you will want to! You won't regret it!
