In addition, the secretary of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, Msgr. Paul Tighe, will speak on Church's institutional presence on the internet and social networks.

According to the Spanish bishops' committee on social communications, the aim of the conference is to help delegates from diocesan communication offices to share experiences and to collaborate on common projects. It will also focus on the role and mission of diocesan spokesmen and their relationships with the news agencies that report on the Church's activities.
