A “Can’t Miss” Event

By on July 6, 2010

I know that there are a lot of conferences out there these days and that it can be hard to know which ones to attend and which ones to skip.  If, however, you’re a creative type then you’re definitely going to want to check out the Story conference.  The purpose of Story is to inspire and fuel the church’s artists, writers and producers in communicating the greatest story ever told.  It’s really going to be like no other conference on the scene.

At Story, you’ll hear from some of the best creative types in both ministry and the marketplace, from filmmakers and authors to actors and musicians.

Check out this lineup…

  • Dan Allender – best-selling author, professor at Mars Hill Graduate School
  • Charlie Todd – creator of Improv Everywhere in New York City
  • Princess Zulu – AIDS victim from infancy, advocate for the oppressed
  • Jason Fried – founder of 37Signals, creator of Basecamp, author of Rework
  • John Sowers – president of Donald Miller’s The Mentoring Project
  • Shauna Niequist – former creative director at Mars Hill, author of Bittersweet
  • David Hodges – formerly of the band Evanescence, award-winning songwriter
  • Leonard Sweet – futurist, author of 40 books, professor at Drew University
  • David McFadzean – creator of Home Improvement, producer of Roseanne
  • Richard Walter – accomplished screenwriter and professor of film at UCLA
  • Sean Gladding – member of Communality, a new monastic community
  • Andrew Klavan – author of True Crime (Clint Eastwood) and numerous novels
  • Gary Dorsey – founder of Pixel Peach Studio in Austin, TX
  • Music by Vicky Beeching, Kari Jobe and Carlos Whittaker

I love this mix of speakers and I can guarantee you that you’re going to walk away with at least a handful of amazing “God ideas” if you listen to what these folks have to say.  Honestly, this conference would be worth attending just to hear two or three of these folks alone.

Story is going to be held in Chicago on September 23&24.  Seating is limited to just 500 attendees.  This is a main-stage event with no breakouts or workshops; just an audience with the top creative minds. You’ll be able to ask questions during the event and continue the conversation after it’s over.
