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 processes and outcomes.

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.
