The Global Leadership Summit

August 10, 2011 in Leadership with 14 Comments

The Global Leadership SummitEvery year, the elders of West Ridge Church head to Chicago for a few days to participate in The Global Leadership Summit at Willow Creek Community Church and to spend some time together as a team. It’s always a good time for learning and renewal.

This year, I’m also serving the Summit team by contributing to what will be happening at The Summit Backstage. With a free login, you’ll be able to engage some bonus content and conversations.

Whether your participating in the Summit in Chicago or one of the simulcast locations throughout the world, I look forward to processing the sessions with you. I’ll share the highlights that grab my attention beginning with the opening session tomorrow morning. Even if you aren’t able to see the teaching, I hope the dialogue here and at The Summit Backstage adds value to you and your team.

Just out of curiosity, who else will be participating in the Summit over the next couple of days? If so, where will you be attending? Join the conversation by leaving your comment.

    The Leaders from Quest Community Church will be joining you via simulcast from Lexington Ky! Our Pastor Pete Hise will be in Chicago. Excited to hear from pastor Steven Furtick! His Church is setting the spiritual bar with his audacious faith! Lots to learn from him.

    I usually attend the Summit in Cincinnati at Vineyard Community Church, but this year I decided to save the money to dig out of debt. So glad that you will posting updates so that I will be able to follow along.

    Hi, I am a church leader from the Czech Republic and will attend GLS in Chicago, so who knows, maybe I will bump to you somewhere among the 7000 people there. :-) I have read all your books and enjoyed it, so it would be nice!

    I’ve attended the Global Leadership Summit every year since 1999 at satellite site #11 – Kentwood Community Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan – where I served for 10 years as a pastor. And I’ll be there again for this year’s summit.

    I drove past the South Barrington exit off I-90 west of Chicago earlier today, on my way home from visiting my wife’s parents in Canada, and I could imagine the excitement at Willow Creek as they put the finishing touches on this year’s Summit.

    I would like to attend the Global Leadership Summit live at Willow Creek some day…but I really enjoy attending it at our church, with hundreds of people from our church and community.

    Hi Tony,
    I’m participating in the Summit right now… and I am enjoying it at my church in DuBois, PA. We are contracted with the WCA as a private viewing site. It’s awesome. I love this leadership development event. It is a gift from God each year.
