Jorgelina Marino
Communicate 2009 – October 21/22 – HP Labs, Bristol
Communicate is the only conference to focus specifically on improving the standards and effectiveness of communication about conservation and the environment. An average of 175 delegates attend Communicate, including natural history filmmakers, representatives from local, national and international environmental and conservation organisations, business, policy makers, media, and national and local government bodies.
The focus is to provide delegates with a solutions-based approach to conservation communication. The conference leads to action by giving environmental communicators the understanding and tools they need to communicate complex messages to a range of audiences.
