Countdown 'till the next conference:

Registration Ends: 13 January, 2020

I count it a privilege to be part of ICCM-Europe. God is moving people.

Timotheus

A great time of sharing and understanding how others work in the Christian area. Time of building relationships and understanding what Jesus means to others in their daily life.

Simon

It has been a source of encouragement, camaraderie, and information.

Black Forest Academy

It was for me a refreshing time getting some break FROM the office AND getting at the same time some encouragement for the work AT the office. :)

A very valuable environment to discover new ideas, be encouraged, build new relationships with colleagues working in the same area.

Dominique

Wycliffe

ICCM-Europe is a time where I connect with other people who can understand the life I lead, cross-culturally, spiritually, and in the work I do.

Sometimes I come away with a tool, a technique, or a scripture passage that really changes my work and ministry, but I always come away encouraged in my walk with God and in my efforts to serve Him with my abilities.

Reach Beyond

ICCM-Europe is a chance to be refreshed, encouraged, convicted, and challenged.

Features of ICCM-Europe

These are the things that make ICCM-Europe special.

Keynote

Keynote Speaker Tobias Treppmann with the topic: Missional Design — crafting functional ministry models

We are glad that Tobias agreed to be our keynote speaker. He has both a technical and spiritual/theological background. We have 3 sessions of the keynote speaker across the conference, and they are thought-provoking, encouraging, and interesting!

About the speaker and the keynote

Workshops

We offer up to three workshops in each of 6 workshop sessions. That's about 12 to 18 workshops!

These workshops are spread across four workshop tracks:

Basic & Advanced Technology
Web & App Development
Leadership & Management
Christian Growth

Workshops

BOFs

Birds of a Feather (BOF) Sessions

There are a lot of technical and management subjects that need attention, but not all of these can be planned as a workshop. Birds Of a Feather, or BOF sessions, bring people with similar interests together to meet and discuss these topics. The topics are agreed by the attendees before this virtual conference and then the session times and locations are published. After registration we will post a link to join in with BOF voting.

English Idiom: Birds of a feather flock together.
Explanation: Just as bird species flock together, people with similar interests tend to congregate with one another.

Pre-Conference Workshops

We have two Pre-Conference Workshops this year. They happen on the Wednesday, starting in the morning. You can choose only one of them.

Pre-Conference Workshop A: Fourth Annual ICCM-Europe Hackathon

Pre-Conference Workshop B: How to get started with 3D Printing

Pre-Conference Workshops

TFM Contest

The TFM Contest (Technology For Missions) is a chance for you to share this past year’s successes, challenges and failures. This is an open-mic night style event where everyone is invited to get up and tell stories from the past year.
