Hey Evan & Chuck, thanks for stopping by & commenting. It was great to meet you guys and hang out at Cultivate! Chuck, thanks again for the pizza Mon night!

So, what’s changed for you guys? Do you have any specific action steps you’re taking because of what you learned or were inspired by at Cultivate or Story?

Neal, “widening the window” is a great suggestion. I heard that sessions from Cultivate had video live streamed. Though, I didn’t see them and I’m guessing that was just the 3 “all skate” sessions since I didn’t see video cameras in the workshops. Large portions of those sessions were also dedicated to answering questions texted in by the participants. So, it would have been possible for people anywhere to text in their questions and watch the speakers answer them live over the Internet.

I also felt like most of the workshops just scratched the surface on their topics. In many cases it seemed like the just presented the questions and issues and there was little time to discuss solutions or hear how anyone was attempting to address them. It would be great if we could continue those conversations online and find ways to engage people who were not at the conference. We were told video from the main sessions and audio from the workshops would be made available online. If there was a way to post each session in a blog format perhaps the discussion could continue there.

Good resolutions — I’m particularly interested to see what you come up with for #4 (mobile phones).

The twitter conversations about the conferences have really started to engage wider audiences in their various messages. I followed several people who were at #Cultivate09, Cat#09 and others, and feel like I had a small window into what was going on.

So, one idea (and this ties into my earlier email to you) worth pursuing is finding ways to widen that window. In an era of digital mass communication and interaction, hybrid conferences that have aspects open to both physical attendees and virtual attendees seem worth considering. Especially since it’s easier to engage folks at home in the conversation when they were already part of it to begin with

Gabe, it was great to meet you in person. I love your perspective. God and people should always come first, technology is secondary.

great question. and greater accountability. i’m still processing my take away from Story. Yet even this morning as i visited with a young man in prison, i had a fresh understanding from Dave Gibbons discussion of “Isaiah 6” – The stump will be a Holy sea that will grow again. When there is a personal revelation of your weakness, it releases a Holy side to your mission…
good stuff.

Thanks for your interest in DigitalDisciples.net, and for being a part of our Web Strategy session (and of course – for taking time to say hello as well). As I look back on everything that was shared, I think we all need to not be so focused on tech / creativity alone….but on the cross. If we’re not letting the Spirit move in our lives and through what we do (even for nice churches and organizations), all is lost. It’s about people, and I’m thrilled to hear you be excited about that.
