[IAMCR 2024 logo]<https://christchurch2024.iamcr.org>The International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR) is pleased to announce the opening of the submission platform for its 2024 conference, to be held from 30 June to 4 July in Christchurch, New Zealand. Hosted by the University of Canterbury, the conference welcomes submissions in the fields of media and communication research from now until 7 February 2024. The central theme for 2024 is "Whiria te tāngata / Weaving people together: Communicative projects of decolonising, engaging, and listening," inspired by a Māori proverb about strength through common purpose.

IAMCR invites abstracts for its various thematic sections and working groups, as well as for two special segments: Flow34 and Pitopito kōrero. Flow34 focuses on academic audio/visual work, such as podcasts and videos that creatively integrate academic and aesthetic dimensions. Meanwhile, Pitopito kōrero is a special strand for short videos on the conference theme. While most of the conference will be in-person only, Flow34 and Pitopito kōrero are open for members who cannot attend the event in Christchurch.

The abstract submission system is now open, with a deadline set for 7 February 2024, at 23:59 UTC. Abstracts should be between 300 and 500 words, with a maximum of two submissions per author. The Flow34 proposals consist of an academic description and a basic script of the audio/visual work, with a maximum length of 750 words. Pitopito kōrero has a different procedure for submissions

The University of Canterbury, hosting the event, is renowned for its Media and Communication program, including Māori strategic communication. Christchurch, the host city, is noted for its blend of colonial heritage and modern architecture, rebuilt following earthquakes a decade ago. The event will take place at Te Pae, a new conference centre on the banks of the Avon river.
