Past Events

The International Crisis Communication Conference series is a decade old and the Crisis Division of ECREA 8 years old. We will be working to add more details, conference programmes, photos and information for each of our past conferences as we have them. If you have any materials from past conferences that you would be willing to share, contact us and we will add them to this site to capture the history, development, and institutionalization of crisis and risk communication in Europe.
