While we're open to ideas for all communication sessions, we are particularly interested in the following topics: social media strategies, storytelling for public health, media training, communicating across cultural barriers, using data to communicate effectively, crisis communications, navigating misinformation and politization of public health, and framing/behavioral science in public health messaging.
