Congress Virtual Experience Connect. Collaborate. Congress VX Watch the VX Orientation Join Seoul-Incheon 2024 from Wherever You Are By broadening the room beyond the walls of the Songdo Convensia, the whole church has the opportunity to participate in Seoul-Incheon 2024. Virtual participants have the flexibility to participate in Seoul-Incheon 2024 from wherever you are, meaning that family, work, scheduling, and financial obstacles are less of a barrier to participate in this ‘once in a generation’ event. What is Congress VX? The Congress Virtual Experience (VX) is an intentional and integrated digital experience of the Fourth Lausanne Congress. With people engaged in the congress virtually, more opportunities for collaborative action can emerge from more people and places around the world. The ‘V’ represents the virtual landscape, where digital realms merge with real-world impact, allowing us to create connections that resonate across continents and cultures. The ‘X’ symbolises the experiential nature and endless possibilities of impact and reach that the digital world has to offer. Far more than a passive live stream, the Virtual Experience offers flexibility, engagement, networking opportunities, collaborative workshops, and engagement tools that empower participants to actively participate, connect, and contribute to the global mission conversation. VX Participation Fee Participation in the Fourth Lausanne Congress is a unique, once in a lifetime experience! The standard VX participation fee which includes daily sessions, engaging with thousands of global Christians, and much more is USD 300. However, we recognise that financial resources vary for participants and are offering reduced rates for those who would find the standard fee burdensome. These subsidised rates are made possible by the generosity of the global church. An Invitation to Journey Together The congress is so much more than just consuming content—we long to see the church journey together! Build relationships with other global participants through daily breakout groups as we listen to expository teaching on the book of Acts together. Make A Lasting Impact Collaborate together to bridge gaps and seize gospel opportunities together with the global church. Collaborate sessions will be hosted each day on a select number of the 25 Missional Gaps. Join to spark collaborative action in your field of interest and meet others who share similar passions. Engage with the Global Body of Christ Share your story and learn from others. Connect with believers from all over the world through our 24-hour virtual lounge where you have the opportunity to engage with other participants, speakers, and special virtual offerings.
