MICA, 1st International Communications Management Conference (ICMC) 2014

February 12th to 14th, MICA, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India

The focal theme of the first conference will be “Managing Health 
Communication: People, Programmes, and Products.�

About ICMC

MICA is pioneering an Annual Conference series on themes and issues in 
Communication Management beginning in 2014. The conference series is 
intended to provide a platform for bringing together scholars, activists 
and practitioners to discuss frontier developments in communications 
theory and practice. While the annual conferences will announce 
particular thematic outlines inviting scholarly contributions around the 
focal theme, papers conceptualizing perennial and emerging issues in 
communications management would also be included. The idea takes into 
cognizance the significance of multiple linkages of interdisciplinary 
and critical scholarship in communication management.

Call for Papers

It is with the aim of furthering holistic health that MICA is organizing 
the first International Communication Management Conference in February 
2014 based on the theme “Managing Health Communication: People, 
Programmes, and Products�. Papers are invited that examine health 
communication in terms of messages and contexts relating to programmes, 
people, and products.

Some of the sub-themes around which papers maybe organized (but not 
limited to these) are:

Programmes:

Information and programme delivery, Health safety, Positive Deviance, 
Surrogacy, Capacity building and Utilization support

People:

Patients, providers, policy makers, artistes

Products:

Pharmaceutical, vitamins, fitness centers

Papers dealing with important theoretical and methodological issues, and 
critiques and interpretations of various theories and policies, are also 
welcomed. Submissions are subject to a peer review process. We plan 
multiple forms of disseminating knowledge from the conference - accepted 
papers will become a part of the conference proceedings; papers can be 
submitted to a special issue of Journal of Creative Communications; and 
we plan audio-visual presentations of key ideas. Apart from paper 
presentations, a call is made for proposals for round-table discussions 
and parallel panel discussions, to increase the level of interactivity 
that the conference facilitates.

Paper proposals should include the title, an abstract (max 500 words) 
and a brief biographical note (max 250 words).
