The Success Story of the 9th World Conference On Media and Mass Communication 2024
MEDCOM 2024 unfolded in Colombo—on both physical and virtual stages—for a transformative experience in media and mass communication. Participants were invited to be part of this leading conference to explore the latest trends and challenges in the field and to engage with top researchers and experts.
Over the years, we had gained a deep understanding of our authentic priorities and the genuine significance within the realm of global media and mass communication. Through keynote speeches, panel discussions, and interactive workshops, participants had the opportunity to share their knowledge and expertise and to engage in thought-provoking conversations that shaped the future of media and communication. MEDCOM had served as a premier platform for educators, researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals to come together, share insights, and explore emerging trends and best practices. At the same time, we had also relearned the power of quality research to produce knowledge applicable beyond the academic setting.
