Maximum Impact 2006

I attended the [tag]Maximum Impact 2006[/tag] simulcast at Bethany Methodist Church in Austin, TX on Friday. Overall it wasn’t bad, though it wasn’t as nice as last year. The best speaker was [tag]Tim Sanders[/tag], who was a polished speaker and had the most to say. There was a bit of overlap with last year’s speakers, and one speaker even used the same presentation (though, he did admit it). The low point was Kathy Ireland’s presentation, which based on the title sounded great, but when presented was less than exciting. Looking around, it appears I wasn’t the only one distracted. Hopefully, she’ll improve with time, as her topic was important (”Balancing Faith, Family, and Work”). [tag]Dave Ramsey[/tag] preceded her though, so she had a tough pair of shoes to fill (if you haven’t seen Dave Ramsey at a conference, it is an experience). Last I heard, Bethany’s attendance wasn’t as large as last year, but the overall simulcast attendance for Austin was at least double, due to the additional 5 locations around the area (4 more than last year). I did notice a new mixture of attendees at our location, so it appears that there were quite a few new attendees, including one that said he didn’t have anything else going on and showed up at the door after an invitation by a friend. Who says word of mouth doesn’t work?
