BOTT stands for Because of the Times. It started out as a young ministers conference held at POA in Alexandria La sponsored of course by Anthony Mangun along with his best friend Mike Williams. The first one was in either 1982 or 83 and they have only missed one year since then. It is probably considered the premier preaching conference in the UPC. But it is not a UPC sponsored event--although all of the sponsors are UPC that I know of.
They do still have the General Sup of the UPC speak on the first night...but Anthony Mangun always brings the main message on that night as well. Each night has two speakers as well as two to three per day and panel discussions. You can see the line-up on the poa website
