BibleTech, 25Mar
This is an exciting time for Bible technology! Web 2.0 and Internet-connected mobile devices offer new ways to interact with Scripture. Bible software developers are building new visualizations and data sets. Publishers are excited about delivering content electronically. And open source projects and APIs are sparking creativity and getting more people involved in developing technology for Bible study.
Yet with all the projects underway, there’s been little opportunity for focused networking and peer-to-peer learning.
BibleTech 2011 will inspire and inform you by:
- offering fresh ideas
- forging new relationships
- exposing you to the work others are doing at the intersection of Bible study and technology.
Connected Church, 21Sep
It’s a well-known fact that a more connected church is a more effective church. Good stewardship goes beyond finances and extends to how well you help people build relationship with God and with each other. The challenge is to identify the right strategies, tools and tactics to increase connectedness with the highest possible return on energy and the lowest possible load on staff and leadership. Come join your peers and industry experts for three days of interactive dialogue and learning.

Mission Igniter Social Experience, 18Mar
Achieving the mission depends on the strength of our community—the stronger our connections and relationships, the greater our health and growth. In today’s rapidly changing culture, the location of that community is also changing: expanding, breaking down walls and barriers, creating challenges as well as amazing opportunities to build vibrant communities.
National Church IT RoundTable, 11Mar
Purposes of the National Church IT RoundTable:
To meet other IT staff and volunteers
- Encouragement – “I am not alone.” “Here I am understood.”
- Confidence – “I’m not so crazy after all.”
- Relationship – Develop on-going friendships
To advance the diffusion of innovation in a given topic area
- Sharing knowledge, lessons learned, and experiences
- Sorting out the big picture. How does it all fit? Where are we going?
- Synergy of new ideas, new perspectives, and new dreams
To facilitate collaboration
- Explore opportunities for teaming up to accomplish common goals
- “Network” – Learn who knows what and who is doing what
A roundtable is a peer-learning event where the participants are both teachers and learners. A roundtable is:
- Small enough to emphasize interactive learning
- Led by a facilitator and peer
- Includes participants who have an affinity with each other
- Does not include a strong agenda beyond sharing knowledge
