Save the Dates for the 2027 ICRCC – March 1-3! We are going to be at the Université de Sherbrooke’s Montreal Canada campus.
You can now submit your abstracts to the 2027 ICRCC. The deadline for abstract submission is November 15, 2026. Notification of acceptance is planned for December 1, 2026.
Students, don’t forget about the student paper competition with a $500 prize. Full papers must be submitted for the competition until December 1, 2026. If your paper is not selected for the top student paper panel, it will automatically be considered for the high impact poster session. If you would like it to be considered as a regular presentation as well as for the competition, do submit the abstract as a separate submission by November 15.
The ICRCA is Looking for Hosts for 2028’s ICRCC and Beyond
Hosting an international conference may be easier than you think. The ICRCC is an intimate, highly engaged conference of less than 200 participants, requiring just three presentation rooms plus shared gathering space. ICRCA manages most conference organization—from submissions and scheduling to registration, awards, and proceedings—while supporting and involving the host throughout the planning process.
Showcase your organization, welcome our international community, and help shape the future of crisis and risk communication.
We Are Risk & Crisis Communication
There were a lot of lessons that we have learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, but one of the most important ones is the value of sharing lessons learned about risk and crisis communication and supporting evidence-based decision-making — globally. As we continue to focus more natural hazards, technological risk, reputational crises, and many other threats to organizations and people, we must continue to apply these lessons. More than a decade ago the International Crisis and Risk Communication Conference started at the University of Central Florida. In 2023 the conference took a year off and with the feedback and work of crisis and risk communication scholars and practitioners from around the world, we decided to form the International Crisis and Risk Communication Association to do more than offer a conference — to be a central international resource for excellence in research and practice in crisis and risk communication.

Welcome from the ICRCA Executive Director, Professor Deanna Sellnow – Clemson University
Welcome to our site! I am delighted to welcome yo to the International Crisis and Risk Communication Association (ICRCA)–a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering intellectual exchange and problem-solving discussions focused on a range of risk and crisis issues. Our forum brings together academic researchers and practicing professionals from around the world to collaborate as a Community of Practice (CoP) navigating mega-risks and crises that are inevitable in the global risk society where we live and work.
