Annual GAiN forum will be held online

Seventh-day Adventists participating in this year’s Global Adventist Internet Network will meet in a new location—online.

The annual conference in which participants examine emerging trends of ministry and technology will be held February 11 to 15 at gain.adventist.org. Each presentation, followed by live discussions, will be broadcast several times in order to accommodate participants in time zones worldwide.

Organizers said the move to the online format—which is expected to draw the conference’s highest-ever attendance—came about because of the denomination’s General Conference Session, a 10-day global spiritual gathering and business meeting scheduled for July.

“Many people will use their resources to travel to San Antonio in the U.S. state of Texas for General Conference Session, so it was reasonable for us to think of other options for the GAiN meeting,” said Williams Costa Jr., Communication director for the Adventist world church. “This is a new way to engage people in the conversation about technology, ministry and evangelism.”

This year’s conference will be offered in English and live translated into French, Portuguese and Spanish.

Costa said participants are encouraged to participate in groups hosted at churches, offices or homes.

Scheduled presentation topics include cyber security, cryptocurrency, app development, distance education, branding, using games to spread the gospel, and operating an information technology department on a budget.

Each eight-minute presentation will be followed by a 15-minute discussion.

The event hashtag is #GAiN15.
