*CFP* "INNOVATIONS IN THE FIELD OF RISK & CRISIS COMMUNICATION", 6TH INTERNATIONAL CRISIS COMMUNICATION CONFERENCE


Leeds Beckett University is looking forward to welcoming the ECREA Crisis Communication Section to the 6th International Crisis Communication Conference in 2019.

The conference will be Thursday 3 October-Saturday 5 October, 2019 in Leeds, United Kingdom with pre-conference workshops on Wednesday 2 October and a PhD workshop from 1-2 October.

2019 Conference Theme: Innovations in the Field of Risk & Crisis Communication.

We are looking for an exploration of new approaches to theory, methodology, education and training, practice, as well as the intersection of technology in the context of risk and crisis. We are looking for cross-disciplinary work with communication, journalism, business, marketing, health, law politics, policing, cross-cultural research, education and training. We are inviting you to think about where the field has been and where it is can and should go. We would especially invite our practitioners to share their own experiences and best practices so that we can all learn from each other.

Traditional research presentations, panel discussions, demonstrations, and theme discussions will all be welcome. We will provide additional details and guidelines over the next several months.

If you have any questions or feedback about the conference, please contact Dr. Audra Diers-Lawson via email at audra.lawson@leedsbeckett.ac.uk or connect with us in our Facebook group -- 'ECREA Crisis Communication Section'. We have reminders and will post all information there as well.
