The Catalyst Conference 2008 was fantastic! It was definitely the best conference I have ever been too. The planning and attention to detail that go into this annual event are amazing. Everything from welcome bag with a sharp looking conference notebook to having a real live elephant brought in during one of the transitions to talk about “the elephant in the room” made this production success.
But of course, what mattered most wasn’t just the extras, but what was communicated by the conference speakers during the main sessions.
In an attempt to recap some of those insightful talks here, I had thought about trying to jam a quick recap into one or two posts like I did a couple months back for the Willow Creek Leadership Summit. But honestly, that would hardly do this conference justice and would make the whole feel like more of a homework assignment and suck all the fun right out of it. So, I am going to take the next however-many-it-takes blog posts to recap what I think is worth highlighting from the main sessions. (And there is much, worth repeating.)
So as we enter the world of Catalyst I’ll let you see what everyone saw who entered this event through the main doors at the Gwinnett Center in northeast Atlanta…
