Dear Respected Delegates,
Taking into consideration our growing concerns on the preventive measures due to the global Covid-19 pandemic and a thoughtful discussion on its implications, the i-COME’22 Secretariat has moved a step forward by deciding to hold this year’s conference fully online. This is the first time ever for i-COME to be held virtually and we take this opportunity to welcome your virtual presentation and attendance at the conference. The conference is scheduled to be held from 1-3 October 2022.
I-COME’22 welcomes participants from all over the world who are interested in communication and media, especially how globalization and the current situation affects the future landscape of the fields. The aim of the conference is to provide a platform for scholars, researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry to meet and share the advanced development and changes in both areas. The conference also hopes to discuss the innovative discovery of research level and promote international scientific cooperation and exchange of ideas among researchers and practitioners. Our conference relies on a wide range of challenges and issues in the fields of communication and media which will be presented through keynote addresses, plenary sessions, presentations by distinguished scholars and practitioners, and doctoral colloquium which is specially designed for postgraduate students to share their experiences. The highlight of the conference will be the award presentation during the closing ceremony which will be given as recognition of the outstanding work of the selected researchers.
