Echo Conference

Wow … what an event! Honestly, we’re still recovering and playing catch up after last week’s conference. If you were at Echo, or if you followed along on our live page or on Twitter, we’d like to say thank you. Echo exists to serve creative church leaders such as yourselves, so we can’t thank you enough for your support.

In addition, I’d like to thank Phil Vischer, Phil Cooke, Mark Steele (also our congenial emcee), and Ben Arment for being phenomenal keynote speakers. The members of our panel—Scott Hodge, Cynthia Ware, Carlos Whittaker, Bobby Gruenewald, and Conway Edwards—were wonderful, too. Each our breakout speakers did a great job, so check out the entire list here. And I can’t forget our great sponsors, each of whom provides a valuable resource or service to the church.

Thanks to Brad and Adam from ChurchMediaDesign.tv for coordinating our live stream and doing some great interviews during Echo. Also, thanks to the team from ParaTweet for enabling us to integrate keynote speaker Q&A’s via Twitter. Last but not least, the entire team at Watermark Community Church went above and beyond the call of duty—they were the best hosts a conference could ask for.

In the coming weeks, I hope to do more detailed blog posts about some of the amazing people that helped make Echo happen. We’ll also post pictures and videos from this year’s event soon, so keep an eye out for those.

Thanks again for making Echo 2009 something special.
