Roundtable</a></span></b><span style='color:windowtext'> Jan 26th - The Florida
guys are kicking off their first regional roundtable and it's going to be
awesome from everything I've been hearing/seeing on blogs/twitter.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span
style='color:windowtext'><a href="http://texasministrytech.ning.com/">Texas
Church IT Roundtable</a></span></b><span style='color:windowtext'> Feb 23rd -
The Texans are having another regional event ... this one is shaping up to be
much larger than any previous! See tx.citrt.org<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span
style='color:windowtext'><a href="http://ministryTECH.org">MinistryTECH</a></span></b><span
style='color:windowtext'> April 23/24 - 2nd annual MinstryTECH event will be in
Colorado Springs this year. Early bird registration ends Jan 31st! This
is a combined MinistryTECH/CITRT event unlike last year. It's pulling
together the best of both events.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span

IT Roundtable at Granger Community Church</a></span></b><span style='color:
windowtext'> June 26 - We're moving the GCC roundtable from it's traditional
fall timeslot to summer. Perhaps we should call this the Midwest
Roundtable? Regardless, we're just starting to work on details and
registration will be open in a few weeks. Hoping to make it a Friday/Saturday
event.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span
style='color:windowtext'>Fall 09 National Church IT Roundtable</span></b><span
style='color:windowtext'> is still TBD - we've not talked much yet about plans
for our big national fall event. My vote is somewhere on the West coast
since we've not held anything West yet. Who's interested in hosting? :-)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span
style='color:windowtext'>I'm hearing from a number of people that this year's
budget constraints are really limiting where and what they can attend. I
think this is one reason why we're seeing increased interest in regional events
that don't require big travel expenses. We're VERY much in the same boat
at GCC ... as of right now my IT team is grounded from traveling :-(<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span
style='color:windowtext'>So, those are the events I'm aware of ... if I'm
missing anything please leave a comment and I'll get it added.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
