Registered Yet? Budgeted for the Cost and the Time?
ICCM Australia 2012
Have you started to make plans for attending? Checked that you have the budget and the time to get to Cairns? Talked to the Bride about a trip to the Tropical Far North Queensland for an early start to summer 2012?
If you havent then better make a start. EarlyBird registration finishes August 31 so you’ll want to be organised before then to take advantage of a cheaper registration cost.
Here is a testimonial from Michael W. who attended his first ICCM Australia last year:
“I work for a technical mission in Papua New Guinea, and I attended the ICCM conference (2011) last year for the first time. For me I had to balance carefully the cost and time vs the benefit of attending, however after arriving I quickly realised the benefits were definitely worth it. The main advantage of ICCM AU is that it lets you meet some really smart Christian people, who are very keen to help you with your technical needs. Since they come from a wide range of ministry and IT areas, there is usually someone with experience to help you with your questions, be they very complex or relatively simple. It is also a great way to keep up to date with the latest technologies, tools and trends. I’d recommend it to anyone who is involved in IT and ministry.”
So dont leave it too late to organise. Plan ahead and make sure you get to ICCM Australia 2012.
