iccmlog1.gif (1341 bytes) International Conference on Computing and Missions

The International Conference on Computing and Mission (ICCM)  is an annual informal (NO ties allowed!) gathering of women and men who have a common interest in computers and mission. We share a vision of cooperation for effective use of technology bringing the Gospel to every nation.

Who Should Attend?

Past Conferences

At ICCM, we gather for a unique experience of spiritual fellowship, information sharing and vision renewal. 

ICCM focuses on building a community of relationships, providing a relaxed forum for people to meet personally and to share ideas, opportunities  and experiences, information and expertise, to help us all better use our God-given gifts and skills in His service.

Our focus is on the community of Christian Technologists. Who are we? What have we accomplished this year? What can we learn from each other, to work more effectively in the year to come? What do we need to know about advances in technology and mission computing opportunities?
