Kainos Networking Dinners (Monday September 24, 2012, 7:00 to 9:00 PM)
We have heard many stories of new ministries and collaboration that had their start at the CCCC conference. Why not take advantage of a Fresh Opportunity to connect with other ministry leaders at the Kainos Networking Dinners on the Monday evening, prior to the conference?
Sign up when you register for the conference. We’ll send you an email with a list of restaurants to choose from. Then we’ll assign you to a reserved table of 6-8 people at the restaurant of your choice. When you check in at the conference registration desk, we’ll provide you with the final details and connect you with your group. (This event is not included in the conference registration fee; therefore, each person will be responsible for their own meal costs at the dinner.)
Things to Bring
Bring business cards - the conference provides an excellent opportunity for networking.
Bring your friends and colleagues - the conference program has something for everyone and is specifically designed for the entire leadership team. Individuals may register online at www.cccc.org/conference.
What to Wear
Most conference guests wear ‘business casual’ during the conference, except for the Wednesday evening banquet, when many guests ‘dress up’ more (i.e. coat and tie for men and business dress for women), although you may wear ‘business casual’ to the banquet if you prefer. You may want to bring along a sweater for workshop rooms that are cooler than you prefer!
Workshop Changes
Due to unforeseen circumstances sometimes workshop titles and/or presenters change from the publication of this conference brochure. Any changes will be reflected on our website (www.cccc.org/conference) and in the onsite conference program as well as being announced during the morning plenary sessions.
Workshop Information
This year, some workshops will involve preparation before the conference begins. Please ensure that you indicate your workshop preferences during registration so that we may contact you with any preconference instructions.
While we carefully analyze workshop attendance patterns each year, sometimes you surprise us! If a workshop is full when you arrive, we’re very sorry. Please arrive early for the workshops you really need to attend!
Audio Recordings of Conference Sessions
Audio recordings of most of the sessions may be purchased at the conference from Kennedy Recordings. You may also place orders after the conference via their website www.kennedyrecordings.com or by calling 1-888-486-1335.
