Two-Day International Conference on Reimagining Communication in the 21st Century: Sociological,Political, and Economic Perspectives

About the Conference

The 21st century is redefining communication, pushing the boundaries of media, politics, society, and economics. This international conference explores the sociological, political, and economic dimensions of communication in an increasingly interconnected and digitalized world. While challenges such as misinformation, media ethics, political polarization, and financial fraud pose significant risks, communication also holds transformative power, revolutionizing how societies interact, access information, and drive social change. The integration of legacy media, digital media, and artificial intelligence has democratized information access, fostering greater civic engagement, global connectivity, and economic opportunities. Social media platforms promises to empower marginalized voices, facilitate social movements, and increase public participation in governance. AI-driven innovations have enhanced data-driven decision-making, improved accessibility for differently-abled individuals and streamlined communication across industries.

By fostering cross-cultural exchanges and interdisciplinary dialogue, this conference will bridge local and global perspectives while laying the foundation for long-term collaborations in research and policymaking. Combining academic rigor with practical insights, it aims to generate actionable solutions and innovative strategies to address contemporary communication challenges. The conference will serve as a crucial platform for scholars, media professionals, and policymakers to tackle some of the most pressing global issues. Through an interdisciplinary approach, it fosters collaboration, innovation, and the development of strategies for a more informed, inclusive, and equitable digital society.
