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!
