Professor Shaun Hendy To Keynote Our 2016 Annual Conference

Join us in Auckland, New Zealand to discuss modern health communication, the practice of good health communication, what we can learn from entrepreneurs in health and medical comms, science and storytelling, and much more!

Our 2016 keynote, Professor Shaun Hendy, is one of New Zealand’s most prominent scientists and the winner of the Prime Minister’s Science Communication Prize. He recently authored the book Silencing Science and believes too many scientists feel constrained in speaking publicly.

Registration is now open and early-bird rates will be available until early August. Find out more about our 2016 conference now.
