Since 1981, Medjugorje has developed into a world-renowned place of prayer and spirituality. In the desire to share this experience with others, the information center "Mir Medjugorje" is organizing the second Medjugorje IT Conference (ITM), offering an opportunity for spiritual growth and networking with people from the IT sector.

The conference will take place in Medjugorje from March 20-23, 2025. In the IT sector, which is often driven by commercial applications and mainstream projects, it is rare to find content that aligns with the deep spiritual interests of software engineers.

Pope Francis encourages us to use technology to spread evangelization when he says: "The Church’s mission needs to adapt to the times and use the modern tools that technology places at our disposal. It is about entering the modern areas of proclaiming mercy and God's goodness. We must use these tools, especially the internet, without becoming slaves to them. We must avoid becoming captives of the network, and instead, fish for souls, that is, attract people to the Lord."

Last year’s IT conference, in addition to the prayer segment of the program, enriched participants with three days of excellent lectures, panel discussions, constructive and creative workshops, networking, socializing, and connecting with like-minded people in the IT world who share the same values, which, as they themselves testify, are hard to find in this industry. A Catholic IT community from Medjugorje was formed as a result of this conference.

The newly formed Catholic IT community from Medjugorje is, in fact, a seed that will continue to be watered and nurtured by this group of technological professionals, so that it can grow into large branches worldwide and bear abundant fruit for the good of the world. Naturally, our doors are open to anyone who identifies with this group, and we invite them to join us again this year, as stated in the announcement.
