ICCM Australia 2013 Details

Its great to be able to announce the dates for 2013 ICCM Australia !

This year the conference will be held in Newtown, Sydney ,NSW  in October 21 – 24 2013.

Our speaker will be Roy Campbell, from International Teams, Canada. Over the years, Roy has come to the realization that technology, in and of itself, is meaningless. As a result, Roy’s mantra is to only do technical work that will either build a relationship or help marginalized people. Roy is an avid seeker and follower of Christ, husband to Carol, and father to Natalie and Jamie. In his spare time, he likes to play hockey as well as Crokinole, Carcassonne, and other board games.

The theme of the conference is

Technology for the least of these

ICCM Australia is a great place to meet others who are working with technology in missions, to be encouraged spiritually, share and learn technically as well.

The conference will start from 5pm with dinner at 6pm on Monday October 21 and finish by 3:30pm on Thursday October 24.

We will once again stay at Golden Grove, part of the the Sydney Anglican Cathedral Healing Ministry, http://sydneyheal.com/goldengrove/

Announcing ICCM Australia 2012 Keynote Speaker – Richard Daniel

ICCM AU 2012 KeynoteRichard Daniel began his media career in 1977, moving into radio directly after finishing his school days. In the next 30 years he has been a radio announcer at several stations, program manager, sales manager and Station Manager.

Several years ago Richard and his wife Julie purchase 2 radio stations in NSW and managed the stations as well as owning them. Owning a couple of smaller stations meant that Richard had to learn everything about the operation, so his technical ability increased so that he could solve most problems thrown at him especially when we had not much of a budget to buy new gear.In 2002 he moved with his family to Maroochydore to help manage and establish an International Christian Shortwave Radio complex called CVC.

For 8 years CVC broadcasted in 3 languages to a potential audience of 3 billion people. CVC took over the old Radio Australia broadcast transmission equipment located in Darwin. As shortwave decreased in popularity, CVC made some huge changes, shutting down all radio and moving into new media, producing short videos designed to share your faith on social networks.

This was a big change for the organisation and the lessons learnt in taking a staff of 58 into new areas was difficult but exciting. Today Richard is a Director of CVC and helping to market their new product called yesHEis.com. He looks forward to sharing how to make changes in an organisation, how to move forward without leaving others behind, how to technically adjust in a changing world and how to serve better in a Christian organisation.

Topics for the talks will be along these lines….

  • When the world is changing and you know your organisation has to move with it, how do you make the changes and keep everyone happy.
  • How do you sell your ideas yet keep peace in the building and stability in the work force.
  • How do you tell some one they don’t fit any more in a Christian organisation and how do you encourage people to change, move forward while you and others around you are making mistakes in a new media. Its a challenge, yet if you have to embrace it some times you have to bite the bullet.

These are some of the discussion points covered in several sessions by Richard. It will be fun… but get ready for some home truths that may be confronting.
