Today, at the NINES – online leadership conference was a great success. It was sponsored by the Leadership Network and Catalyst. It was my first leadership conference to experience online. It featured a long list of speakers like Steven Furtick, Ed Stetzer, Craig Groeschel, Perry Noble, Dino Rizzo, Margarete Fienberg, Mark Batterson, Anne Jackson, Neil Cole, and many others that had nine minutes to share their leadership thoughts and insights to a diverse online audience of church and ministry leaders around the world. The event lasted from 9am to 9pm CST today.

The twitter tag on the event was #thenines. Today, it reached the #1 trend in the world on twitter. If you attended the NINES today, which speaker and topic really connected with you the most? What did you like the most about the NINES? What would you like to see happen differently next year?
