Plenty of you have surely heard of South by Southwest (SXSW) before. And some of you probably know that you can vote for what sessions are held at SXSW 2010. Their web site gives some of the details on how you can vote for sessions. But how does this relate to you?
Well, the church has a huge opportunity to make an impact at SXSW. There are at least five panels related to churches and technology being proposed for 2010, but you need to vote for them if they’re going to happen. Here are what they look like:
- Creating Authentic Online Community: Tony Steward, Carlos Whittaker, John Saddington & Cynthia Ware (moderator)
- Technology For Results Not Profits: Bobby Gruenewald, Brad Abare, Kent Shaffer & Terry Storch (moderator)
- LifeChurch.tv: Reaching 2 Million+ With Technology: Terry Storch, Tony Steward, Bobby Gruenewald & Kent Shaffer (moderator)
- Pushing Technological Change Without Alienating Your Co-Workers: Kem Meyer & mystery experts
- A Conversation about Social Change through Social Media: Mark Horvath
So head over to the SXSW site and vote (requires a login) so the church can make a big impact on all the attenders of SXSW. And hopefully we can all learn to communicate a little more effectively in the process.
