If you weren’t able to make it to ECHO last week, you missed out on a phenomenal conference. Lucky for you, Tim Stevens took good notes at the keynote sessions and posted them on his blog. As I thought about how nice it was for Tim to take and share his notes, it quickly occurred to me that I may have discovered one of the secrets to Tim’s success. (more…)
Christian tees can be cheesy or just lame at times, but we are here to challenge the status quo. Here’s an intense print job done for the new Echo tees that will be sold at the conference next week. A normal tee shirt print job generally consist of 3 colors or less. However, for this design by Barton Damer, it required an oversized print as well as 10 spot colors! Exactly what does that mean? In order to get the colors to pop off of the tee shirt the way the original artwork was created, the t-shirt was separated into 10 solid ink colors and printed on a mammoth 12 color machine (below).

After posting about The Whiteboard Sessions yesterday, I figured it was time to mention another brand new conference: ECHO Church Media Conference. Not only is ECHO perfect for COLLIDE readers, ECHO is also one of our sister companies. The ECHO team has summed up the conference as “a conference for church leaders who love using media, technology, and the Internet to be more effective in sharing God’s story.” Sounds like a good time to me.

Where - Watermark Community Church in Dallas, TX
How Much - $269 Super Early Bird

What other upcoming conferences are you excited about?
If you’re currently in the market for a spring conference or two for some personal/professional/spiritual development, check out The Whiteboard Sessions—-a first-of-its-kind church leadership conference on May 22, 2008 in Reston, VA. The conference is being put on by Ben Arment, the pastor of Reston Community Church. Here’s how Ben summed up The Whiteboard Sessions for us:
One day.
8 Influential Leaders.
30 Minutes Each.
Sounds cool, right? The eight leaders include: Ed Stetzer, Mark Batterson, Perry Noble, Tim Stevens, Darrin Patrick, Vince Antonucci, Mark Dever and John Burke. As you probably know, Tim Stevens is a currently COLLIDE columnist and the author of the upcoming Pop Goes The Church. If you follow our Links of the Week, you know that hardly a week goes by where I don’t link to something Mark Batterson has blogged, and that’s just two of the eight speakers!
No doubt you’re intrigued, so find out more about the conference at www.TheWhiteboardSessions.com.
