The conversation around Catholic communication just got even more interesting with the release of Magnifica Humanitas. This June 16-19 in Atlantic City, we are gathering to figure out what this new landscape means for our daily work.

Rates increase by $100 after this Sunday, May 31.

We are bringing in the exact people you need to hear from right now. On Wednesday morning, Taylor Black, who balances roles at both Microsoft and the Catholic University of America, starts the day with an AI workshop before delivering our opening keynote at lunch. Then on Thursday, we have an outstanding panel featuring Dr. Paolo Ruffini from the Vatican, Carol Glatz from Rome, Fr. Arthur Purcaro from Villanova, moderated by CMA President Kerry Weber from America Media discussing how to navigate truth and technology today.

Whether you are looking to fix a lagging YouTube channel, build a better diocesan media policy or just catch your breath and connect with peers on the Boardwalk, this is the place you need to be.

Save $100 by locking in your registration before Sunday night’s midnight deadline. Link in bio or here: https://www.catholicmediaassociation.org/events/catholic-media-conference-2026

How do we engage Catholics who love the Church but skip the pews?

At the upcoming Catholic Media Conference, we tackle this question head-on. Join Marybeth Hicks (FAITH Catholic), Adam Carlisle (Diocese of Metuchen), and Elizabeth Slaten (Diocese of Tyler) for an essential panel: Reaching “Cultural Catholics” Through Diocesan Storytelling.

Based on recent Pew Research and a FAITH Catholic white paper, this session delivers actionable strategies to transform your print and digital publications into vital entry points for 21st-century evangelization.

Learn how to:

-- Pivot from obligation-based messaging to values-driven engagement
-- Turn high-engagement days like Ash Wednesday into pathways for curiosity
-- Leverage schools and Catholic Charities to expand your audience footprint

Rates increase on June 1. Register this week to secure the early rate and join us in Atlantic City from June 16-19: https://www.catholicmediaconference.org/registration

At CMC 2026, join Kayla Simon (President and CEO, FAITH Catholic) and Anne E. Clark (Communications Manager, The Catholic Miscellany, Diocese of Charleston) for "Keeping Mission at the Heart of Every Issue."

This session will explore how editorial decisions — from story selection and tone to imagery and design — can reinforce a publication’s evangelizing mission while remaining authentic, credible, and engaging.
