Pre-Conference Affinity Gatherings provide a place where you can meet others from your denomination, network, region, or interest group. Each gathering will have a host to moderate the discussion, and may have agenda items to discuss with the group.
Affinity Gatherings occur on Thursday, October 16, from 9:30 – 11:00 a.m., prior to the 12:30 p.m. start of the Group Life Conference. Registration is required due to limited seating, and reserving your spot for an Affinity Gathering is just like registering for a breakout. Be sure to sign up when you register for the conference to guarantee your place.
See the list below for an up-to-date list of Affinity Gatherings. If you are interested in hosting one yourself, please email us for details.
