the catalyst conference is only a little over a week away and there are many opportunities for you to engage like never before — even if you’re not able to attend!
CATALYST BACKSTAGE
this year, catalyst is launching something new: CATALYST BACKSTAGE, which will be hosted by none other than yours truly!
the website’s not up yet (here’s a sneak peek)…but OH MY GOODNESS is this going to be cool – whether you are attending catalyst or even if you aren’t!
CATALYST BACKSTAGE will feature off-the-cuff, LIVE, exclusive backstage videos with catalyst speakers (and surprise special guests), a completely live, interactive chat open 24/7 so you can chat with other catalyst attendees and discuss what you’re learning during the sessions as they are happening — all in ONE PAGE! we’ll also be pulling in catalyst twitters (#catalyst08 is the hash tag), and other catalyst webby goodness we find throughout the event.
when i’m not backstage, i’ll be running around with my trusty FLIP video camera invading your personal space, hanging out with you, crashing parties, and showing the world what god is doing through you…these videos will be published on the CATALYST BACKSTAGE site as often as i possibly can so you’ll get to meet other leaders and see what’s going on in their worlds.
yes…i will be drinking a lot of red bull and no…i probably won’t be sleeping very much but having the opportunity to connect leaders with other leaders both inside and outside of the catalyst arena gets me SO pumped up!!!
HOW WE NEED YOUR HELP
in order to connect as many leaders as possible – we are going to need your help!
next week, i will have a post with sidebar widgets and buttons that will link to the CATALYST BACKSTAGE site and it will take a viral, web 2.0 miracle to spread this as wide and far as possible.
WHY?
we realize not everyone can attend catalyst so we want to be able to connect everyone as much as possible via this site through the leaders who are there chatting, through the videos and all the interaction! and we want those who are attending catalyst to be able to connect with each other as well.
so, feel free to start blogging about this now…and next week we’ll have some widgets for you…but this is so stinking exciting…i couldn’t hold it in anymore!
tomorrow…stay tuned for another amazing catalyst announcement!
can we count on your help for spreading the word?!

oh yes
whatever you need…
count me in…
Exciting!
I live in Atlanta and I attend North Point Community Church… but I’ve never been to Catalyst because I’ve never considered myself a “church leader”. This year, however, I have come to terms with my position and I shall be there. Hoping to catch up with the crew at the Deadly Viper meet-up.

Can’t wait to pass the news on!

This will be my first trip to Catalyst. I am really looking forward to it. I have no idea what to expect.

WORD!
Without a doubt, I will tell everyone I know. Thanks Anne.
I’ll be linking this post on my blog, as well as adding the widgets when they are ready. Very Cool! Hope to get to meet you while I am there (First timer here).
My daughter and I had so hoped to attend, but couldn’t. Now we have a way! Thank you! We’ll spread the word.
I’ll be glad to spread the word up here in Upstate NY! Great idea. Looking forward to being able to be a part since I couldn’t get there this year!!
