Exponential promotes itself as "the largest gathering of church planters on the planet". I was there a few years ago. It REALLY IS large, just like it says, and a great networking experience. Lots of my friends were there including some bloggers.
REASONS TO ATTEND EXPONENTIAL 2010
1. Its a fun event and extremely well organized. Everybody enjoys it!
2. Buy Darrin Patrick a beer and make him feel like he is at church.
3. Meet all those church planting book authors.
4. Annoy Alan Hirsch at the Shapevine area for as long as you like.
5. Its really big and its in Florida
REASONS TO AVOID EXPONENTIAL 2010
1. Verge was better. They had George Patterson and Exponential didn't. Verge sold out. I told you.
2. The conference doesn't look any different from last year or the year before.
3. The church planting movement doesn't look any different than the decade before.
4. Global church planting leaders, working where most of the action is happening, are absent. See my next post.
5. Its really big and its in Florida
For those that are there, enjoy! It should be a GREAT time!
