INTERNATIONAL CRISIS &

RISK COMMUNICATION CONFERENCE

March 4-6, 2013

Learn from top crisis and risk communication professionals, scholars and researchers from across the globe!

The International Crisis & Risk Communication Conference provides the unique opportunity for leading researchers to come together with crisis and risk communication practitioners and professionals. The discussions enable participants to share, discuss, interact and network to the betterment of their goals, meet their respective needs, advance both theory and practice and establish best practices. The conference provides current research findings and proven best practices which enables attendees to learn, grow and enhance their knowledge, skills and abilities. Effective crisis and risk communication can make the difference in business and organizational success, operational continuity, health and wellness, emergency management, disaster recovery, image-reputation brand management, product safety, incident notification, media relations and the role for social media applications. The ICRC Conference annually brings together the leading experts – both academic and professional – to collaboratively seek insights and understanding of what makes crisis and risk communication successful.
