I was reminded today that the CDC’s 4th National Conference on Health Communication, Marketing and Media is being held in Atlanta, August 17-19. Hard to believe, but that’s only a month and half away! The cost for registration is $455 and registration will close on July 30, so keep that in mind. There are also several pre-conference workshops if you’re interested.
Here’s the information about the conference from the CDC’s website:
“The fourth annual National Conference on Health Communication, Marketing and Media is sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Office of the Associate Director for Communication. The conference will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, August 17- 19, 2010, at the Omni Hotel in downtown Atlanta. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the National Cancer Institute and the National Public Health Information Coalition are partners for this event.
This year’s theme is Convergence: Purpose, Programs, & Partners. The fields of health communication, marketing, and media are converging, with distinct sciences, methodologies, and technologies merging into a unified whole. This year’s conference will further promote this “convergence” of purpose, programs, and partners, and examine its impact on our processes and outcomes.
The conference is slated to bring together individual researchers and practitioners from academia, government, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector, and provides a forum for collegial dialogue within and across these disciplines. The conference is an excellent opportunity to meet with colleagues and shape the future of health communication, marketing, and media research and practice.”
