The 2009 Conference was a great success so make sure you are part of EMPA 2010 at the Sydney Harbour Marriott from 11-13 April 2010.
Practitioners who have a story to tell that would be suitable for a presentation should contact the conference organisers.
Emergency Media and Public Affairs (EMPA) is a registered not-for-profit company formed by like-minded professionals aiming to further the profession of the emergency or crisis Communicator.
EMPA runs an annual conference intended to share experience and knowledge amongst crisis communicators from both government and industry.
EMPA has also established the EMPA Research and Development Centre, which aims to act as a centre for research ideas, but also as a ‘clearing house’ for research ideas from government and industry.
EMPA Research and Development Centre is supervised by a committee of practitioners from government agencies and researchers from La Trobe University and the Universities of the Sunshine Coast and Southern Queensland.
We're currently calling for Expressions of Interest for research projects worth up to $5,000 - due September 14. Now extended to October 14!
We are also working on an application to secure a Fullbright Scholar for the emergency communication community in 2010...
