Warren, Maxwell, Blanchard Among Speakers for The Leadership Summit 2005


What started in 1995 on a rather ordinary scale — 2,200 leaders gathering at the Willow Creek campus — has become truly extraordinary!

Almost 160,000 people have attended The Leadership Summit since its inception almost 10 years ago. And Summit 2005 will be our first global event, with more than 100 sites in North America, plus locations in 12 other countries. Only through God's grace…!

In planning next year's event — the Tenth Anniversary of The Leadership Summit — we've invited back some of the best and brightest Summit guest speakers ever, particularly those who have a special relationship and history with the WCA.

It's with great pleasure that we announce part of the 2005 speaker line-up:

  • Rick Warren, senior pastor of the thriving Saddleback Church in Southern California, and author of the phenomenal bestsellers, Purpose Driven Life and Purpose Driven Church

  • John Maxwell, one of America's foremost experts and communicators on leadership development, author of numerous bestsellers including Developing the Leader Within You, and former long-term pastor of a dynamic local church

  • Ken Blanchard, co-author of the extraordinarily popular and effective One Minute Manager, and world-class leadership development speaker, consultant, and coach

  • Bill Hybels, founding senior pastor of Willow Creek and world renowned expert on leadership will again anchor the Summit, and will welcome other special guest speakers as well (to be announced at a later date).

    Don't miss the Tenth Anniversary of The Leadership Summit on August 11-13, 2005. It promises to be a high-energy, can't-miss experience for you and your entire team to share.

    Begin thinking and praying about which of your staff and volunteer leaders should join you at Summit 2005. (You don't need to know now the names of who will accompany you. Simply lock down the rates now and get us their names later.) Then call 800-570-9812 or click here to get registered. And we'll plan to see you all next August at the Summit!
