CFP: ProComm 2025 in Denmark, Call for papers, panels & workshops

Posted on by

Dear Colleagues,

ProComm welcomes participants to Sønderborg, Denmark, on the campus of the University of Southern Denmark (SDU). Sønderborg is beautifully situated on the Sønderborg Fjord, and thanks to its own airport, a 45-minute flight from Copenhagen (or a 2-hour drive from Hamburg, Germany). The once medieval city is now steeped in technology, showing the steady transformation of communication through signs and symbols to advanced digital technologies.

We encourage submissions for papers, panels, or workshops that address how signs and symbols affect our interpretations, practices, and revolutions of professional communication. This year we have a new submissions process. Instead of submitting a 500-word proposal, all potential presenters must submit a complete draft of their final submission, whether that is a brief or full paper or extended abstract.

We invite you to share work that explores how engineers, technologists, and professional communicators engage with the array of signs, signals, and ways of making meaning that shape our world, whether that addresses:

  • adaptive technologies for communication,

  • media affordances, constraints, and transformations

  • new technologies for professional or team communication,

  • the roles or limitations of LLMs, GenAI, or diffusion models in research or pedagogy,

  • critiques and reflections on our fields, futures, and practices,

  • or any ideas related to meaning making!

We are particularly interested in work that integrates the technological with the cultural or sociological in the production and interpretation of signs and signals. We especially encourage industry practitioners to give panels or workshops on emerging best practices.

  • February 1, 2025 at 5pm ET: Drafts of Full Papers, Brief Papers, Extended Abstracts, and proposals for Panels, and Workshops are due via the conference website.
