The relationship started nearly two years ago when I met HOW magazine editor Bryn Mooth at a conference we were both attending in Chicago. And after the nice little article that ran last December in HOW magazine, I decided to re-visit the conversation and put some ideas out there for a possible partnership. I’m pleased to announce that CFCC and HOW are officially dating.
The full potential for this partnership will only be realized over time, but things are off to a nice start. Consider this:
- CFCC has been invited to do a special workshop at the HOW Design Conference this May 18-21 in Boston. Look for details soon, including an exciting announcement about who will be doing the workshop. Nope, it ain’t me!
- HOW has issued a special code for the CFCC community (that’s you) that will save you up to $120 off the registration price for this year’s conference. Just enter coupon code “CFCC8″ when you register online. But hurry, the early-bird deadline is March 28.
- HOW has also given us one free full-conference pass for May 18-21 in Boston! You want it? Just drop an email to HOW2008@cfcclabs.org and tell us why it should be yours. The first 30 people to respond will be entered in a drawing for the winning ticket. Transportation, lodging, meals, etc. will be your responsibility. You don’t have to wait to see if you’ve won before you register. HOW will issue a refund if you win the drawing and you’ve already registered.
Not bad for a first date, eh? So go register for the HOW conference. There’s also a meet-up in the works for folks from the Church Marketing Lab. We’ll have more details on that later too. See you in Boston!

What is the situation with the session at HOW for CFCC?
Will this be something to register for?

Eddie, as long as you register to attend HOW, you’ll be able to come to the CFCC session/workshop. There is no additional charge to attend the CFCC session.
