Q Conference April 12, 2008
Posted by Steve in : Culture and Faith , trackback
I just returned from the Q conference that I went to with venture capitalist Mike Collett in NYC this week, April 9-11 and what a hurricane of ideas, thoughts and ponderings.
Q is a forum run by Gabe Lyons and the Fermi Project for creatives, social entrepreneurs and innovative thinkers to get together and discuss how each can use their sphere of influence to shape the culture for good. One blogger said “Q is being organized by some of the brains behind the Catalyst conference. It’s a space where leaders can create, dialogue, collaborate, innovate, serve and ideate around the important topics shaping the church’s future role in culture.”
This was my first time attending since it debuted last year, and I was excited to meet with some of the most creative folks in the nation to look at key questions facing Christians as we try to engage our culture in all of its facets. I am becoming more passionate about the interaction of faith and culture and this event served to only pour gas on the fire in my heart. I am deeply involved in Chicago theater through Provision Theater and I am tangentially involved in film through some really cool producer/director friends. This is where my heart is and I am beginning to figure out what that means as I start my own sports social networking company, Fan Fuego, that gives me some means and a platform to be more involved in this area.
More to come

Steve - I was at Q as well. What a great event to challenge and inspire! I’m still processing all that we heard.
