Kristin and I had a great time presenting at the 2014 ICRC Conference in Orlando. Our presentation focused on exploratory research into applying the situational qsort methodology to determine what crisis communication experts think of when they consider what a crisis is. This was a fun research project to do and work on.
Of course, there was a lot of social media conversations from the ICRC Conference, which can be viewed here. This is one of the things I really like about the ICRC Conference – it’s a learning conference where professors, graduate students, and professionals come together in an interactive environment both online and offline. Kristin and I were very pleased to see so many people at our session and the questions that emerged from our presentation. We were able to brainstorm ideas, talk about other ways to apply the situational qsort in other crisis situations, and what best practices should be considered with these messages.
Even crisis professionals take selfies!
Special thanks to all of the staff and faculty at University of Central Florida. We felt SO welcomed and supportive at the conference – it was truly an exceptional experience. This was more than just a conference to share ideas and research – this was a community of professionals interested in learning, growing, and networking within the field of crisis communications, which is something that was fabulous to experience and be a part of.
Major props and thanks to Robert Chandler, Tim Coombs, Tim Brown, Melissa Dodd, Amanda, Alyssa, and all of the professionals and staff members who really created a wonderful learning experience for all of us at the ICRC Conference. You all rock!! 🙂 This will probably go down as one of my favorite conferences.
Best.Conference Snack & Coffee. EVER!!!
For graduate students, professors, and practitioners in the field of crisis communications, ICRC is a must attend conference! Thanks and looking forward to the 2015 ICRC!
Have a great day!
Best Wishes,
Karen
