Hosted by the University of Central Florida’s Nicholson School of Communication, the ICRC Conference brings together industry thought-leaders, researchers, and experts from government, corporate/enterprise, and higher education to facilitate an international dialogue on approaches to collectively understand, adapt and respond to significant crisis communication challenges facing leaders in various capacities. Featured speaker, Dr. Robert Chandler will be hosting, presenting and moderating a variety of panels that explore today’s key issues and lessons learned from communicating in the event of the unexpected. “With the recent disaster in Japan to the latest string of deadly tornados, we are seeing social media evolve into a communication channel that can inform, warn and persuade audiences yet, there are concerns and objections limiting its usage,” said Dr. Robert Chandler, Ph.D., Director, Nicholson School of Communication, University of Central Florida. “Some of our sessions are aimed at bringing to light those concerns and hearing the tales from the trenches on how to integrate social media into your crisis communication plan. I’m extremely excited about this event as I think it will provide a whole new level of depth on crisis communications.” About Everbridge Everbridge, the world’s recognized leader in incident notification systems, merges technology with industry expertise to help millions of people communicate in a crisis, manage operational incidents and connect on a daily basis.
