Breaking Buzz

We continue to pull together our game plan for the Buzz Conference next May 4-5, 2006 in Washington, DC.

One of our goals for Buzz was to get speakers who don't just talk buzz. They live, eat, and breathe buzz.

Not even sure how this happened, but Ed Young will be one of our speakers at the Buzz Conference next May. He pastors Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas. Not only is Fellowship reaching more than 20,000 people each weekend, they are one of the most innovative and creative churches in the country.

I'm totally buzzed about Ed Young speaking at Buzz. By the way, we're not raising the cost of the conference :) But the value just went way up :)

That is awesome. I was already looking into coming but now I can almost guarantee it.

I went to fellowhsip for a few months when we were down in Dallas. He is definitely buzz worthy.

Kyle,

Buzz is primarily targeting pastors and pastoral staff. I think the prime candidates are the "creative teams" at churches. But it's open to anyone who has an interest and thinks it might be beneficial to their personal life, ministry or career. I'm sure we'll have a share of people who aren't in full-time ministry.

I am signed up, along with a fellow church planter from here in Florida. Looking forward to being with you guys... and hey, we'd have come even without Ed... As we say in the south, he's just gravy on the taters. Actually, I don't know anyone that says that...
