We're T-minus 10 days and the buzz registrations keep rolling in. We passed the 250 mark last week. I think we'll hit 300 attendees for our inaugural Buzz conference which is max capacity.

I'm absolutely thrilled about it. To be perfectly honest, the Buzz Conference was a huge leap of faith for us. I don't think you ever feel "qualified" to host this kind of event. We've got so much learning and growing to do ourselves. But we really felt called to do it. That's the only reason we added Buzz to our already crazy lives!

I would have been happy with 125 attendees at our coffeehouse for our first conference. That was our goal. But Buzz is definitely exceeding all expectations in terms of attendance. Now I hope it exceeds all expectations in terms of content.

I spent some rooftop time "praying through" the conference. A lot of people are investing a lot of time and money to come to Buzz. We're trying to be good stewards of that responsibility.

I feel a mixture of emotions--a combination of nervousness and excitement. It's excitement about Ed Young and Brad Abare's sessions. Nervousness about mine :)
