I've Been Thinking About This…

The Leadership Network have just released what I might call the ‘anchor speakers’ for THE NINES conference tomorrow – like anchor stores in the mall, these names are well-known and provide place-holders – times when you will want to be there through the day. They’re all so great you’ll want to be present for each hour. Here’s the list (times converted to Eastern):

• 10am – Troy Gramling, Mark Beeson, Anne Jackson, Dave Ferguson, Scott Hodge
• 11am – Perry Noble, Stacy Spencer
• noon – Dino Rizzo, Nancy Beach, Steven Furtick, Reggie McNeal
• 1pm – Craig Groeschel, Leonard Sweet, Greg Surratt, Jon Tyson
• 2pm – Margaret Feinberg, Larry Osborne, Matt Carter, Pete Wilson
• 3pm – Neil Cole, Reggie Joiner, JD Greear
• 4pm – Mark Batterson, Dan Kimball, Mark DeYmaz
• 5pm – Jud Wilhite, Brian McLaren, Bob Roberts, Rick McKinley, John Ortberg
• 6pm – Alan Hirsch, John Bishop, Toby Slough, Ed Stetzer
• 7pm – Mark Driscoll, Darrin Patrick, Brad Powell
• 8pm – Darrin Whitehead, Brian Bloye
• 9pm – Eric Bryant, Nancy Ortberg, Rick Warren

Some big names there, and some of my favorite speakers. I’m at least as excited that there are folks I’ve never heard of. If only a few of them are as good as the ones I know, I’m in clover.

Not sure why they didn’t list them all – they said ‘We don’t have room to list every one of the speakers here’, but as it’s an email I’m not sure what that means.

Also – vindication! – I’d like to note that this will run for 11+ hours as I predicted here last week. (I’m so proud…)

There’s almost 9,000 people signed up at this point, and lots more who are watching at central locations. Hope you can join us for the day tomorrow.
