Worldview Weekend. A great conference discussing the modern christians worldview. And best of all, it’s FREE. The guest lineup changes from place to place so your experience may vary, but the one I attended a couple years ago was very good. There were 3 or 4 speakers and one was Candace Cameron who played DJ on Full House. But all of them were informative and interesting.
Here’s some info on it. http://www.worldviewweekendrally.com/info.php Check out the scary statistics about halfway down the page.

RevGen, in northern NJ, is coming up next weekend.
NEXT was amazing this year! It’s put on by Josh Harris every Memorial Day Weekend & is by far the most dynamic & well-attended singles conference I’ve ever been to. Definitely worth checking out:)
Summer camp! Hey, support your Church camps by volunteering!
. . . had to put in a “plug” for them.
The True Woman conference is awesome. It is being offered in various locations in 2010.
The 2008 conference was one of a kind and is highly recommended to any woman who wants to learn more about how GOD designed her the way she is on purpose.
I went to a Beth Moore conference (I think it was “Living Proof”) 10 years ago. I imagine hers are still good now.
Willow Creek Leadership Summit – always great stuff!

@JENN: Care to get a Marry Well Group to go to NEXT together next year?
We’d love to exhibit at NEXT next year in Orlando … if they’d have us.
Women Discipling Women; every July in Los Angeles. This was the third annual. And they have a Men Discipling Men conference the following weekend every year too. Great resources for ministry within the local church – hosted by the Biblical Counseling Department of the Master’s College.
@Jen7707 – I also went to NEXT and it was amazing!
@eameyer – I actually went by myself so I think getting together a MW group next year is a great idea!
NEXT is great from what friends have said. Also Together for the Gospel is amazing. It’s geared mainly for pastors or staff (so mainly all guys), but many friends from church volunteered and went to Louisville this year. It’s a bi-annual conference with excellent speakers and tons of free books for volunteers.
CCEF has an annual conference as well in November that deals with some in-depth and sometimes universal issues.
Dino came to my town last week and gave a free piano concert – it was sensational!!!! The Lord’s anointing is definitely upon him. He plays in Branson and is putting on a Christmas show in Orlando, FL this winter. If you get a chance, I HIGHLY recommend going – you will be blessed!!
The Women Discipling Women conference in the L.A. area every July is amazing. LynneMarie got to go this year and I’m hoping to go next year. It is solid meat for women.
I went to the Women of Faith conference in Dallas last year and this year (couple weekends ago). They have a great heart to see women lifted up and encouraged.
I get a little annoyed by the fact that they want you to get a free t-shirt by signing up for the Women of Faith credit card and also because they just promote their books like CRAZY to you the whole conference. But, one promotion they have that I love is World Vision. They do a lot with and for World Vision, and give you many opportunities throughout the conference time to choose a sponsor child.
I sponsored one little girl last year, and 2 more girls this year.
Now I’m talking with a friend about going to the TrueWoman conference this October, and I have been very interested in the NEXT Conference. Sounds like it’s a hit with many in the MW community which is great to hear.
