*2019 Conference Theme: Innovations in the Field of Risk & Crisis 
Communication*
The deadline for abstract submission is 15 April, 2019 with 
notifications sent on or about 15 May, 2019.

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 /at/ 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.
