Why charge to come to this event? What books are included? These are Major topics and I’m not complaining, but why charge? We need a more than just 1200 people discussing the future of the convention. Leadership seems to be way underestimating the importance of what is going on.
Jonathan,
We are really sorry but we have to charge. We will make absolutely NO money on this event. To have an event in the Orlando Convention Center is very costly, we will not even cover costs with the $7 charge. We are dependent upon outside donors to cover the remaining cost of the event. Doing box lunches alone in convention center costs $19 each and that doesn’t include drinks, sound equipment rentals, etc. that are needed to put this event on. I am not sure whether you think we are an SBC agent, we are not, so we dont have tens of thousands of dollars to pay for it. We wish we could serve you in that way. We have several churches and groups giving $ so we can charge a minimal fee. This is actually quite a deal and lunch that is cheaper won’t be found near the convention center, plus this event includes books, great speakers, etc.
We are still working out details on the exact books that will be given out but they will include works from our speakers.
We will have more than 1200 discussing the future of the convention during business sessions of the SBC annual meeting. This is not a sbc sponsored event or a part of the actual program. This is one group within the sbc giving an option for people to gather outside meeting times to talk about important issues.
I think the charge that leadership is underestimating the importance of what is going on is unfounded and not quite fair. They know that nothing less than the future of how we will cooperate in the great commission is at stake.
We really hope you will join us but if not we understand. Truthfully we have called in every favor we can think of to get as many people involved as possible and to get the lowest cost possible.
Nathan
Will this be available online after the fact? sorry if I overlooked that.
We hope to make it available post-SBC
