What Makes A Good Seminar

A good seminar is characterized by a number of key attributes. Firstly, it should be well-structured and organized, with a clear outline of the topics to be covered and a logical sequence in which they are presented. Participants should be able to follow the progression of ideas and concepts easily, without feeling lost or confused.

Structure aside, an excellent seminar is also informative and educational. Attendees should leave the seminar with a deeper knowledge and understanding of the topic under discussion. This can be achieved through the use of relevant case studies, examples, and research findings, which support the key points being made throughout the seminar. It is also important that participants are actively involved in the learning process, rather than just sitting and listening passively. Engaging discussions, group work, and individual reflection exercises can all help to make the learning experience more interactive and meaningful.

In addition to providing valuable knowledge, a good seminar should also be engaging and motivating. The presenter should be passionate and enthusiastic about the subject matter, and be able to communicate this energy to the audience. The use of engaging visuals, multimedia, and storytelling techniques can also help to capture and hold the attention of participants, making the seminar more memorable and impactful.

Finally, a great seminar should provide ample opportunities for networking and collaboration. Attendees should be able to connect with fellow professionals, share their own experiences and insights, and potentially form new partnerships or collaborations. The seminar should therefore provide a welcoming and inclusive environment that encourages open communication and interaction between all participants.

In conclusion, a good seminar should be well-structured, informative, engaging, and provide opportunities for collaboration and networking. When all of these vital components are present, a seminar can be a truly valuable and transformative learning experience for all who attend.

Frequently Asked Question

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the conference be recorded?
Yes, audio recordings of the conference will be made and we also expect to make video recordings. Please allow time for conference staff to review the recordings for quality and prepare them for upload. Some sessions may not be available due to copyright issues or speaker contract agreements.

Can I get podcasts/DVDs/CDs of the conference sessions?
The recordings will be made freely available via the forallseasons.org website. No DVDs or CDs are sold. We recommend checking back regularly if the files are not available on your visit to the website.

How do the conference seminars work?
There will be three seminar sessions running concurrently on the Thursday afternoon. When you book you will be asked to identify your preferred and second choice seminar tracks. This is to help the organising team gauge which rooms should be used for which track. You can go back and edit your preference once you have booked and even make a change of preference on the day. We will endeavour to record all the seminars so that you can benefit from the content of those you aren’t able to attend.

Will there be child care at the conference?
We’re sorry, but no. For a variety of reasons the conference is simply unable to offer child care services nor can we offer a list of recommended child care providers in Birmingham.

Will there be transportation or shuttle services available?
No, the conference does not provide shuttle services or transportation. However, if you are seeking transportation to or form the airport, your hotel and the conference venue, we recommend checking with your hotel or host to see if they offer that service or know of someone who does.

I need to cancel my registration. What should I do?
If you find it necessary to cancel a registration, we are sorry that you won’t be able to join us for the conference.

Prior to April 1st, cancellations are subject to a £10 non-refundable administrative fee. Beginning April 1st, registrations are fully non-refundable.

The Conference

Paul urges Timothy to “preach the word” and to be ready both “in season and out of season” (2 Tim 4:2). He foresees times of fruitfulness but also of resistance and indifference to truth. Many of us in Western Europe can relate to resistance, though we labour in a continent that was once fruitful. But what should we do when the soil is hard and unyielding? When fruit seems slow in coming?

The answer is to preach the gospel. For no matter the season we may find ourselves in, God’s glorious Word never changes. Neither does his call upon our churches to be the people of God in the here and now.

Come and join us as we look to challenge and encourage each other to plant churches and be gospel ministers For All Seasons.

Conference Detail

The conference is a regional Acts 29 Bootcamp being organised in partnership by Acts 29 Western Europe and 2020 Birmingham. It will focus on the vision of church planting, the calling of the planter, the mandate to multiply churches and the theological foundation for gospel-centred church planting.

There will be an opportunity to find out more about a city-wide church-planting initiative being undertaken in Birmingham, through which a coalition of churches are working to see at least 20 churches planted in the city by 2020.
