Registration for the Congress will open from 11:00am to 6:00pm on Wednesday 29 April.
The Congress program will open with a Welcome Banquet, an Introduction to the Event, and a look at the BAM global movement today.
Each morning we will gather together in the main meeting hall for a devotional time, key note addresses, business stories, panels, and time for discussion and questions.
Each afternoon will be focused around the Congress Networking Zone. With the BAM Expo at the heart of the networking, there will also be a choice of 20+ breakouts and workshops each afternoon, plus organized meet & greet times and roundtables focused on industry, topic and geographical areas.
The Lion’s Den is a bit like the ‘Shark Tank’, but with a BAM twist! Three business owners will present their companies before a panel in a dynamic and interactive learning experience.
We’ll have three ‘super-breakouts’ to choose from, featuring a more in-depth exploration of key BAM topics in a more informal setting with short talks and panels.
The Congress program will close on Saturday evening with a look at the future of BAM, celebration and commissioning as we prepare to depart.
Since the program finishes late on Saturday, we recommend that you plan depart on Sunday 3 May in the morning. Please see our FAQs page for more information about when to depart and transportation options.
