It takes around 500 folks every year to put on our large Catalyst event in Atlanta the first week of October.
Our Catalyst full-time team consists of 12 people. So that means 488 "other" folks are involved in the process of creating and delivering the best experience out there for Next Generation Leaders.
I would love to list all 500 folks. But not enough room here. However, all 500 are listed on the bonus edition as part of the event DVD set.
