ProComm 2020 is switching to an completely online format in light of the continued challenges to global travel, large gatherings, and reduced academic funding.

Leveraging our location’s historical links to railroads, our conference theme for 2020 is STEAM, Powered by Communication. Our shared technological past was built by steam-driven engines that moved people and goods across long distances. Our shared technological future will be built not by steam engines, but by Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Humanities, and Mathematics (STEAM) professionals. STEAM professionals will move information and ideas across virtual distances using technologies and systems that haven’t been invented yet. The most influential STEAM professionals will use their strong foundation in the fundamentals of communication to maximize the clarity and impact of their message.
