I’ve just landed in Austin and am excited attend the Q Conference starting this morning.
Q is a gathering where innovators, church leaders, social entrepreneurs, and cultural pioneers come together to explore the church’s role in positively contributing to culture. Q was created as a place for Christian leaders in many different channels of society to become informed and exposed to cultural ideas and to one another. No other gathering exists that attracts the most influential leaders of the church and today’s most innovative thinkers into one space for conversation, learning, invention, and collaboration. Over the course of three days, Q introduces participants to myriad topics presented by over thirty experts. Their ideas have been selected to heighten our awareness and challenge our creativity as we consider our roles, individually and corporately, in shaping culture.
We’re in Austin, Monday – Wednesday, April 27-29. Follow my tweets to hear how hundreds of remarkable leaders will collaborate around the biggest questions facing the church today. Q is not for content consumers, but for those who will contribute to the bigger conversation.
It’s definitely invitation only. Thank you Brad Abare for my invite & thank you Faith Highway for facilitating my travel.
