Who is it for?
The Congress is open to anyone interested in business as mission. This will be an unprecedented global gathering of business as mission leaders from every continent and practitioners from every part of the BAM movement. The Congress will provide a ‘one-stop shop’ for business as mission, a unique opportunity to network and share expertise on a wider variety of BAM issues than ever before. The Congress will share outcomes from the year-long Business as Mission Think Tank project, but you do not have to be part of the Think Tank to come – it is open to everyone!
What should I expect?
The Congress will bring together BAM practitioners and leaders from all over the world. Some of the most dynamic speakers and experienced BAM practitioners will be addressing the Congress during our keynote sessions. Cutting-edge material coming out from the Think Tank will be shared by leaders, along with examples and stories of businesses both in plenary and break out sessions. There will be the opportunity to go to at least 6 different breakout sessions on the issues we’ve been tackling during the Think Tank, with the latest best practices, tools, recommendations and real examples being shared at each one. In addition, there will be a facilitated networking time with Regional and Country representatives sharing what is happening in BAM around the world and how to get involved. Other networking times will be provided, including a taster session for the Call2Business Trade Fair. We are working in strategic partnership with the Trade Fair, which will offer industry-specific networking and business opportunities.
