The 2012 Online Conference is happening March 17-31.

We've extended the dates thanks to feedback from attendees who say there's too much to balance in one week. This year, we'll be holding the forum part of the conference first. From March 17-24, the forums will be open so that you can read, do assignments and get feedback from our fantastic presenters at your own leisure. (Remember, forums are open 24 hours a day, and presenters will be visiting them frequently.) The forums will remain up, but presenters do not need to reply to posts after March 24.

March 24-31, we will have only chats. These are scheduled one-hour moderated chats on a variety of topics. We will also be holding pitch sessions and prayer time this week.

We're signing up presenters as we speak. If you are a presenter and would like to participate, please register at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SXJVLJW.

If you have already attended an online conference, then you are registered--you just need to use last year's username and password. If not, you can register now where it says REGISTER in the banner above.
