Another CITRT has come and gone

I spent most of last week at the fall Church IT Roundtable (aka “CITRT”) event, and have spent most of this Monday in “re-entry” mode. Kudos to Trace Pupke and Seacoast church for doing a stellar job hosting this event. The bar has certainly been raised!

I had a great time meeting new people and getting to know others much better. I come back feeling refreshed and ready to start applying all of the info I tried to absorb. If you are in church IT and have not gone to one of these events for whatever reason, or were not even aware of CITRT, I can only say that I consider this one of those “must do” events, period. If I had to make the choice between specialized training or CITRT, I would choose the latter in a heartbeat. The networking you can do and contacts you make far outweigh any specific knowledge you might gain (and trust me, you DO gain knowledge at these things And beyond raw knowledge, there is the intangible benefit of just hanging with like-minded people that have the same job as yours. You will definitely feel less “alone” after attending one of these.

The next CITRT is already scheduled for April 23-24, 2009 in Colorado Springs, in conjunction with MinistryTech. Don’t miss it!
