I just noticed that one of my colleagues, Dallas local, Rhett Smith, just posted on something that’s been percolating behind the scenes for awhile now – the Cultivate Conference.
In fact, Dawn Nicole Baldwin of Aspire One and Jarbyco, just alerted me that registration has just opened up. There’s no doubt this is going to be a stellar one-day-only event. Hosted in Chicago at Park Community Church, it will precede the Story Conference – also a first time event.
Cultivate is for advanced communication pros who serve the Body of Christ and will develop into a network of church communication experts.
There are several reasons why many of us are excited about this gathering:
- It’s concept (interactive, collaborative, conversational).
- It’s facilitators (great list of Church Communication Pros).
- It’s proceeds (all profits go to the Center for Church Communication [CFCC is the non-profit arm of Church Marketing Sucks] and Blood Water Mission).
- It’s a prelude to Story Chicago.
Here’s the Facebook page link: Cultivate and begin to network in advance. And you can add it via EventBrite.











Wowzers. This looks amazingly cool. What a lineup!!
