The fifth annual CommuniCon is back in person this year! We can’t wait to get together with fellow campus communicators for a time of networking and professional development.
Two half days (with lunch!) will ensure we have plenty of time to reconnect with old colleagues, meet new ones, and learn a thing or two along the way. For the first time this year, we’ll have a space to show off your recent print and digital work – Find out more.
