We are just a week away from the deadline to submit your abstract to the 2024 International Crisis and Risk Communication Conference in Orlando, Florida.
If you’re not familiar with this conference, it is the single best conference for risk and crisis communication scholars and practitioners held in North America. The conference’s theme and mission is to build bridges between academia and the world of practice so that we may inform each other and protect people, improve policy, tackle global health and safety challenges, and support organizations through some of the most challenging times they will have to confront.
As in past years, we will again be accepting paper, poster, and panel abstract proposals. This year we are also seeking Industry Spotlight Problem or Case Abstract proposals to create sessions featuring the perspectives of our business and industry professional partners.
The proposal submission is live and we will accept submissions until December 6, 2023. Submissions will be accepted on our website at: https://wearecrisiscomm.com/conferences/2024-icrcc/2024-icrcc-abstract-submission/. You can also become a member for the remainder of 2023 and all of 2024 and/or register for the conference here — right now registration is available at our early bird discounted rate.
