IE Day related events

Here are conferences and seminars that connect with the digital evangelism agenda. Please tell us of other events to include on this page. Please note that we ourselves cannot answer questions about these events – you must contact their organisers through each website.

Looking for a speaker?

If you need someone to speak about web evangelism at your own seminar or conference anywhere in the world, we may be able to help. We have a panel of speakers who can speak to a wide range of subjects. We can also offer a video-conferencing seminar using Skype: more information.

Please do consider such a web evangelism slot within mission, evangelism, communication or pastors conferences. Note that our free downloads: PowerPoint, video clips, handouts, etc. can also enable you to create your own conference seminar.

Videos of previous conference seminars are available online – an incredible resource.
