Bi-District Training Day 2022
was Saturday, January 15, 2022
This year's event featured Rev. Michael Beck, author of Fresh Expressions in a Digital Age: How the Church Can Prepare for a Post Pandemic World and Contextual Intelligence: Unlocking the Ancient Secret to Mission on the Front Lines.
Bi-District Training Day was online only in 2022, and we've got a great lineup for you. Our Keynote Speaker, Rev. Michael Beck offered three live sessions on January 15. Those sessions and all pre-recorded content are available to All-Access Pass holders until July 15, 2022.
How do I get to my workshops?
On January 15 (and beyond) you will access all of the BDTD content (live webinars, live Zoom lunch sessions, and prerecorded workshops) through this website. Just come back right here and participate in the conference.
We made you a video that walks through how to watch workshops and the event's live sessions from this point forward. They are now considered REPLAYS and will be found on the site in the Replay area.
If you are looking for a longer explanation of all things BDTD, we made a video that explains everything you need to know from how to log in to how to find your sessions to how to get handouts to finding the lunch session Zoom links and more.
You must be registered in order to access the workshops on January 15 and beyond. REGISTER HERE.
When you walk through the registration process, the system will require you to select the workshops you'd like to attend or view. Please note that you can choose as many as you'd like. (The system even offers an easy 'select all' checkbox that allows you to pick everything at once.)
You can find a DOWNLOADABLE LIST of all BDTD2022 workshops and descriptions HERE in order to help you make your choices.
